    Automatic Redirecting...how?

     
    Hey guys, had a Q for ya. How do you do an auto redirect to a "new" site? I'm what you'd call a newbie at HTML coding, I can make an entire site with frames or tables or what not with notepad. I can do a "click here to redirect" link (not too difficult I know), but I was wondering how to do those automatic redirects.

    Thanks

    It's fairly simple. Just use a bit of javascript:

    Code:
    <script language=javascript><!--
top.location.replace("http://www.my_domain.com/");
//-->
</script>

    Excellent, thanks!

    Oh and where do you usually place this tag?

    After the opening html tag?

    This example would redirect you to TechIMO in about 8 seconds
    Code:
    <HTML><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="8; URL=http://www.TechIMO.com">

    You can use either or...but, I don't recommed the meta refresh tag unless you don't want search engines to index it. If you decide to use the meta redirect instead of javascript, make sure that you don't set
    Code:
    CONTENT="x;
    to 0 (seconds before it redirects to another page) as that will cause problems with Google.

    If you want to use the javascript tags, you should put it inside of your <html></html> tags.
