Quick HTML help

[dak125]

Alright, I've done this before but I cannot for the life of me get this to work. All I want to do is forward "www.mywebsite.com" to "www.mywebsite.com/blog".

I don't need an announcement or a delay, just simply make the main page go somewhere else . I've googled my heart away and have tried every single example I could find changing the appropriate fields to no avail.

Can anyone help a guy out?

Thanks in advance!

For pure HTML:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://mywebsite.com/blog">

However, it's recommended you use HTTP redirects (see http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/reback), and the easiest way to do that is if your server supports PHP:


<?php
header("Location: http://www.mywebsite.com/blog");
?>

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that if you don't have PHP, then you'll want to use an htaccess file. Some instructions are here: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess7.shtml

java script will take care of this also:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">


<!--

window.location = "mywebsite.com/blog"; 

//-->

</SCRIPT>

However, if someone has javascript turned off, it won't work.

Or in asp.net, Response.Redirect(url);

you can do it in htaccess to, that way you don't need an index file in the webroot
