| Meta Refresh |
|---|
|
If you move a page, how do you prevent visitors from getting a 404 Page Not Found error? Use the meta Refresh tag. It makes any page automatically load any other page after an amount of time you choose. |
|
Syntax: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url="http://www.baywalk.net"> |
|
The content parameter specifies the number of seconds before a new page is loaded. The url field specifies the next website or page to load. This is also handy when you want to keep people from browsing a directory that doesn't have an index.html file in it. Simply create a file like this: |
|
<html> <head> <title>Connecting to Baywalk.net...</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url="http://www.baywalk.net"> </head> <body bgcolor="white" text="black"> <font size="4"> <center> Now Connecting to Baywalk.net.....<br> </center> If your browser does not support redirection, <a href="/">Click here</a> to head on into Baywalk.net.<br> <br> Also, you might want to upgrade your browser.<br> Follow one of these links to download a newer version:<br> <a href="http://www.mozilla.com">FireFox</a><br> or <a href="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft Internet Explorer</a><br> </body> </html> |
