say what there gittyup??

umm I'm kinda following ya....

-SMIz, We used to host a site, for free, but some engines still point to our files, but they have a much better site up, someplace else, so I need to change the index.html we host to redirect instantly to their new site..

The link I sent you to the java script should work, but gittyup's idea is better.

<< <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4;url=http://new.site/"> >>

The meta http-equiv="refresh" tells the browser to refresh with "url=http://new.site/" that as an address. So you'd put wherever you want them redirected to in place of http://new.site/

I believe the 4 in front of the address is the time period the browser is supposed to wait before redirecting. Correct me if I'm wrong of course.

Here is a good example. Once temp.html is hit, the user will be automaically re-directed to new.com in 1 sec.

temp.html:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>We've moved</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"
CONTENT="1;http://www.new.com">
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<H1>We've moved</H1>
Our site can now be found at
<A HREF="http://www.new.com">
http://www.new.com</A>.
</BODY>
</HTML>
