Any one know how I can have a visitor automatically redirected to another url as they enter a page. So when the visitor enters page1.hml, as soon as the page loads, a message is displayed saying: please stand by... Redirecting..." I need a free java or perl script? Or another trick?

Either:

Javascript called from "onload"

function ReDirect() {
var i, args=ReDirect.arguments; document.returnValue = false;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-1); i+=2)
eval(args[i]+".location='"+args[i+1]+"'");
}

Or:

Following works fine for me:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.google.com" />
</body>
</html>

asp

OK, I got it!

The 1st one you gave me did not work for me.
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="TimeDelay;URL=http://www.google.com" />

I found this and it worked.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3; url=http://www.google.com">

This other one you gave me works and looks the same.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.google.com" />

What is the #3 or #5 for in CONTENT="3? Is it the value of delay time? I'm 99.9% sure it is.

Once again, thank you very much for the help!

it is the number of seconds until it redirects.

You have to replace TimeDelay with a number and then YourNewUrl with the url you want to redirect to.
