Webmaster Questions and Answers

Question: How can I get one of my Web pages to automatically forward (redirect) to another page after a specific amount of time?

Answer: This is accomplished through a Meta Tag process known as HTTP-EQUIV. Here is a sample that I coded on this page:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Webmaster Techniques: Redirect Demonstration</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">

<H3>This Page Will Forward in Four Seconds</H3>

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content= "4;URL=http://www.webmastertechniques.com/index.html">

</BODY>

</HTML>

This simple script will cause a person who goes to one page to be redirected to the page you specify at URL= " " in four seconds. If you want to change the seconds, change the number (i.e. content="5 for five seconds).
