Simple html redirect code? 1

jrpatdlgs · Mar 26, 2004

Can someone please refresh my memory on the html code and timing string that will automatically redirect a user to another page on the site? I used it once several years ago but that page is long gone and all I can find now are Javascript redirects which I do not understand.

Thanks,
John

[tt]try this

Code:

<html><head><title>HTML REDIRECT</title>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta http-equiv=REFRESH content="5; &#10;URL=http://www.mysite.com">

blah blah blah

and with the simplest JavaScript ever.

Code:

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

[blue]redirTime = "15000";[/blue]
redirURL = "your_page.asp";
function redirTimer() { self.setTimeout("self.location.href = redirURL;",redirTime); }
</script>


<!-- STEP TWO: Insert the onLoad event handler into your BODY tag  -->

<BODY onLoad="redirTimer()">

Just change the [blue]redirTime = "15000";[/blue] to whatever time you need. Right now it's set to 15 seconds...

Thank you DeCojute. The html code works perfectly. And now I even have a simple enough Javascript so I can give it a try too. Have a great day! : ^ )
