Meta-Refresh question

Do all browsers respond to a Meta Refresh?

[jaeden]

I am curious to know if there are any browsers out there that do not respond to a meta refresh statement. I'm not considering using it for search engine placement or anything sneaky like that. I'm using it for completing orders, so that when the credit card is completed it redirects to the order completion page.

Are there browsers that will not respond to the tag?

Opera has a user preference that allows the meta refresh to be turned off. In fact, I browse that way a lot of the time.

Products like adsubtract have the ability to remove meta refresh tags since they are often used by unethical webmasters to trap surfers on a site (called mousetrapping).

even without the above avoidances, many browsers won't respond to the meta. You can set HTTP headers on your web server, or if you are using ASP/JSP you can code for it in the ASP/JSP code.
