    Automatic link (without clicking)

    When I load my home page I want to be automaticaly redirected to other URL. I read somewhere that this piece of code is all I need.

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2;URL="http://www.jumphere.com/home.html">
    </HEAD>
    </HTML>

    However this code does not redirect me anywhere. It looks like it is reloading the original page every 2 seconds.

    What can I do? Is there any mistake?

    <meta http-equiv="Location" value="newurl">

    All these things confuse the back button though. Any chance you can do this thing on the server side?

    Your quotes are off.... it should be:
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2;URL=http://www.jumphere.com/home.html">
    </HEAD>
    </HTML>
    The " after the URL=" causes the page to think you want to go to the current URL... which is why the page reloads, and reloads, and reloads, and reloads, and reloads, .....

    <meta http-equiv="Location" value="newurl">
    Works as well, the nice thing about option one above is that you can print a message that lets the user know that they are about to be redirected. And possibly provide a link in case the refresh doesn't work.
