redirect function

Hi,
Is someone can explain teh function "redirect".
I would like to redirect from one site to another without any action from
the visitor.

Many thanks by advance

In the head, type:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=0">

Replace the first 0 with the delay in seconds before the page refreshes, and
the second 0 with the web address of the page you want to redirect to.
For example, to redirect the page to one called MyRedirectTarget.htm
straight away without any delay you would type in:

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;URL=http://www.MyWebSite/MyRedirectTarget.htm">

If you just want to refresh the current page, after say 5 seconds it would
be something like:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5">

Note, this meta tag must be in the head - between the <head> and </head>
tags.

Note also that if your visitor presses the browser's back button after the
redirect, they will then be trapped in 'redirect hell' since the page they
go back to will redirect again.

Why do you need to do this?

"Note. Some user agents support the use of META to refresh the current
page after a specified number of seconds, with the option of replacing
it by a different URI. Authors should _not_ use this technique to
forward users to different pages, as this makes the page inaccessible to
some users. Instead, automatic page forwarding should be done using
server-side redirects."
