Web Design Guidelines: Meta Tag-HTTP-EQUIV
| META HTTP-EQUIV tags are the equivalent of HTTP headers and are usually used to control or direct the actions of Web browsers.
For example, if your page has moved, or you have a need to redirect your visitors automatically, you can use the "meta" HTTP-EQUIV HTML tag to send them the new page of your choice. Here is how it is done: <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="2;URL=http://www.uri.edu/newpage.html"> <TITLE>Page has moved</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> whatever you want to write </BODY> </HTML> NOTE: Notice that the refresh tag comes before your title tag. The content=" " command does two things. It tells the browser how many seconds to wait before executing the refresh, and then what url it should be redirected to. Be careful when you write this....the quote marks are around the entire content=" " command, not around the number of seconds or url individually. They are separated by a single semicolon (;).
