A download page that then Re-Directs

[rotfil]

I am looking to direct a user to a website that can then start a download process, automatically if they veiw the page. Any ideas?

To come from an email and then that page redirects them to the main site

Thanks

You can use a meta refresh like so:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5; URL=redirect_page.html">

Or some javascript:

document.location.href = 'redirect_page.html';

Or if you're like me, a PHP redirect using header (if you have php ;)):

header("Location: redirect_page.html");

As you can see there are many choices. I would go with the last one if you can, but if not there are other solutions out there as well.

Good luck!
