How do i make a pause and play even on page refresh

[lovephp]

guys i got this code which works ok for redicreting to a url in 4seconds when the page loads or refreshes but how could i make a pause and play for this and store it in session so that it do not redirect?

<script type = "text/javascript">

window.setTimeout("autoClick()", 4000); // 4 seconds delay

function autoClick() {
var linkPage = document.getElementById('dialit').href;
window.location.href = linkPage;
}
</script> 

thanks

Have you tried using clearTimeout()? There's an example of what it sounds like you want to do here:
