Drupal page--front.tpl.php redirection issue

Question

I have a drupal 7 site with a page--front.tpl.php that acts as a splash screen. When i enter my site address like www.mysite.com and press enter i m redirected to the splash screen that is perfectly normal. Now, i want to redirect the user to the real www.mysite.com (i.e by bypass the splash screen or page--front.tpl.php) that is my page.tpl.php if a user clicks a link on the splash screen page.

Your help is highly appreciated...

Just set another page up as a home page that you go to once you've gone past the splash screen and either set up a link to it to click on or use Javascript to redirect automatically.

If you want a link:

<a href="YOUR_HOME_PAGE_URL">SPLASH_SCREEN</a>

If you want automatic redirect:

<script type="text/javascript">
function delayedRedirect(){
    window.location = "YOUR_HOME_PAGE_URL"
}
</script>

<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayedRedirect()', 3000)">

Change the number to change the time it takes before the page is redirected.

EDIT:

If your splash page is index.html then add the Javascript between the tags. On your tag add the onload function.

Change YOUR_HOME_PAGE_URL to the page you want to redirect to.

This code is dead simple and literally can't not work.
