Linking a webpage so it automatically references another site.

[kleslie11]

Hello All,<br>
<br>
I know this is such a rookie question. However, I'm having problem seting up a webpage so it automatically directs it to our new web hosting company. Can anyone help. <br>
<br>
thanks in advance<br>

the use of META TAGS can do this:<br>
<br>
&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;2;URL=http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm&quot;&gt; <br>
<p>John D. Saucier<br><a href=mailto:jsauce@net1plus.com>jsauce@net1plus.com</a><br><a href=

http://www.net1plus.com/users/jsauce>Registry

Backup</a><br>

What does stand for. I tried looking it up in my HTML4 book, but I didn't find .<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

Sorry I was trying to bold the text. The is only used by Tek-tips for the purposes of including HTML in messages. So forget those.<br>
<br>
<b>&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;2;URL=<A HREF="

http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm&quot"

TARGET="_new">

http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm&quot</A>;&gt;</b><br>

<br>
JUST THAT! <p>John D. Saucier<br><a href=mailto:jsauce@net1plus.com>jsauce@net1plus.com</a><br><a href=

We are experimenting with a &quot;tek-tips&quot; markup language that will allow you to bold, italicize, etc, your text. Currently, you can make your text bold by using [ and ] with a b in them instead of the familiar &lt;b&gt;... it currently only works in lower case, which is why jsauce's post shows his commands instead of making the text bold...<br>
<br>
There are about 15 commands we have come up with, and are pretty much the same as html, (except of course, for the [] brackets instead of the &lt;&gt; that html uses). This allows you to actually post html, and at the same time, mark up your post...<br>
<br>
You can currently <b>bold (b),</b> <i>italicize (i),</i> <u>underline (u),</u> <s>strikethrough (s),</s> <div align=center>center (center),</div>etc.....<br>
<br>
When this markup language is complete, I will provide instructions. Until then, remember to use lower case and brackets to get the above effects....(please don't bold an entire post, though..I think that would be kind of rude... <p>Doug Trocino<br><a href=mailto:dtrocino@tecumsehgroup.com>dtrocino@tecumsehgroup.com</a><br><a href=

I thank you both. I'm am in the process of learning HTML4. I have never used HTML or any other markup language, and it is comforting to have sources for questions and ideas.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

Thanks for the URL; will check it out <br>
<br>
Also; if the META tag isn't working for you properly yet; you might want to try putting it in like this instead (I think I found a glitch in it):<br>
<b><i>&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;2&quot; URL=&quot;<A HREF="

http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm&quot"

TARGET="_new">
