Auto-forwarding Webpage

If you need to have a page auto-forward, a meta-tag in the header of the web page will do the trick. This page has a 30 second timer on it, before forwarding to my main page. You can hit the BACK button on your browser if you wish to return to the HTML Notes page. This is useful if you are moving a web-page to another site, or are removing a web page and wish to have a page that will redirect people coming to the page from a bookmark or link to a new destination.

The syntax of the meta-tag for autoforwarding is as follows. The meta-tag needs to be within the Header tags. the equivalent is "refresh" and the content has two portions. First, the time, in seconds, and second, the target page to be forwarded to.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30;URL=index.asp">
</head>
