Overriding blocked meta commands.

Is there a way I can over ride these sites' blocking of the meta tag @ leas

I am a member on quite a few community web sites. A couple of them do not allow java, script, meta, frames, etc. I have seen some pages that somehow have managed to hook up their page on these sites using these features. Is there a way I can over ride these sites' blocking of the meta tag @ least so my homepage will display? If i can't use special code to design my page on their service, how else can I get my page to display according to my preferences?

Welcome to Webmaster World!

What kind of meta tags are you talking about? Maybe there are other equivalent options you could use instead? :)

I can't think of a single meta tag that is pertinent for the way your page would display ..

The rest of it - javasccript and so on - is probably an issue that has no general solution - most likely each service has a custom method in place.

I'd suggest using View Source - both for your pages and for the ones that can override the blocks. That will probably give you the clues you need.

Q: What HTML tags are not supported on my personal page?
A: The following HTML tags are not supported: JAVA, APPLET, SCRIPT, FORM, OBJECT, JAVASCRIPT, JSCRIPT, META, FRAMESET, FRAME, IFRAME. Adding them will cause the removal of all HTML tags on your personal page.

Q: Why doesn't MiGente.com allow JavaScript?
A: We have disabled the use of JavaScript because users can use it to manipulate a member's browser against his/her wishes. For example, a malicious user can:
1. Redirect you to site outside of MiGente.com where your personal account information can be acquired without your knowledge.
2. Flood your screen with pop-up windows, which can render your computer inoperable.

These are what they have blocked and their reasons, but there has to be another way around it. Any ideas? I am needing to use: <META
HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="5; URL=autoforward_target.html">

Other sites I use they work fine on of course considering they are allowed. But how to get around the sites that don't allow them, i have no clue...

Why do you need to forward the visitor automatically?

Because these sights don't allow frames and my home made page uses frames...

I have seen some pages that somehow have managed to hook up their page on these sites using these features.

Then the answer may well come from studying the source code of those pages that HAVE found a way.
