Welcome to Brady's tutorial on Meta-Refreshing, what you need:
Programs: NotePad, Microsoft Frontpage, or DreamWeaver
Time Needed: 2-3 Minutes
Basically Meta-Refresh is a simpler way of redirection, It is much simpler than java or php.
There are two basic parts to the Meta-Refresh code and they are the content and the url. The content is the amount of time before the actual redirection/refresh, and the url is the location you wish to go to.
In this tutorial I am going to have the code redirect to the homepage of TutorialFX
| <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;URL=http://tutorialfx.com" /> |
Now it's time to break it down:
| <meta http-equiv="Refresh" |
This part of the code is what tells the document that you want to use the refresh.
| content="5; |
This is the content, the content is basically the delay and can be however long you want it to be.
| URL=http://tutorialfx.com" /> |
This is the URL, or the final destination of the refresh. You can put in different sites, different pages on your site, or the page itself.
| <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;URL=http://tutorialfx.com" /> |
This is the final code, as you can see it is very simple and very efficient when you need it.
Hope it helps!
