html redirect

Can I do it without showing the original page?

I'll apologize now if this question is to stupid for this forum, but I just can't seem to figure it out. Here's the problem:
I want to send visitors from one page to another, but the code I'm using displays the first page briefly before loading the second. Here's the code I've inserted in the <HEAD>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://mysite/mypage2.html">

While it works, it's really annoying to have that first page flash on the screen. Is there a way to get the redirect to not display the first page but instead jump directly to the second one?

A 301 RedirectPermanent set in your .htaccess file will work the way you describe

Thanks, Bill, I was hoping to not have to go there, but I guess that would be the best way. Appreciate the tip.
