msg:4104232 | 5:32 am on Mar 25, 2010 (gmt 0) | I have several pages that I would like to redirect within the same domain; but I am not able to use any server side scripting. Is using a meta refresh with a 0 second delay safe with the major search engines? I am a little nervous - an acquaintance told me she did a meta refresh recently and Yahoo seemed to treat it like a 302 redirect (i.e. the old page url showing with the new page content).
