Users will loathe it; Not all users have JS enabled/supported; Search
engines will not follow and obey the redirection and the list goes on.
JavaScript might be fine for a one-off re-direction of some page (yes, I
have a few for historical reasons), but all in all, JS is no alternative
to server-side (thus rather transparent) redirection.
Hope it helps,
