Redirection In Javascript

**PsyVision** · Oct 9th, 2000, 03:15 PM

Is it possible to make it so when a page loads on the net it redirects to another page in java script, if so how ?

If this cannot be done then how do i open a new window at a certain address ?

hi PsyVision

you need to use the window.location function

<HTML>
<script language="javascript">
function redirectbrowser()
{
window.location = "somepage or url"
}
</SCRIPT>

<BODY onload="redirectbrowser();">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hope this helps

You don't need javascript for that, you can use this:

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Redirecting</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; URL=http://www.altavista.com">
</HEAD>
</HTML>

But...

A short while after writing this post i scripted my own at last. I tried the second way but it never opened the new page i wanted, just refreahed the browser. What i did is bascially the same as 'Ianpbaker' did it.

Thanks Again.
