Hi I have a page which when opened has a meta tag to auto forward to a url which opens an application (spotify)

The problem is I am then left with the page telling the user they are being forwarded as another page doesn't open.

Is it possible that as soon as the page loads and forwards the user the page is sent "back"

I'm assuming I would use javascript:history.back(1) but I'm not sure how to do this automatically once the page is loaded/forwarded.

Thanks.

If I understand your description of the situation, you won't be add any javascript code to tell the forwarding page to send the user back.

If you found a solution to this though, please post back as it would help anyone who finds themself in a similar position. :)
