Is there a simple script I can add to my home page to automatically
(seamlessly) take the browser to another page..

For example my domain www.123.test

I want to automatically go to www.123.test/otherpage/


I am sure this is simple to do but I don't know how to..

Any assistance appreciated.

John Parker

Use a meta refresh tag between the head tags on the page.
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL=otherpage.htm">

Will direct to otherpage.htm in 10 seconds.
Change 10 to the number of seconds you want.

This is nonsense! Use a proper HTTP redirect:

BTW: Have you ever read
<http://www.xs4all.nl/~wijnands/nnq/nquote.html> ?

Top-posting.
What's the most irritating thing on Usenet?

The W3C offers recommendations, not standards, and the type of redirect to be used is really based
on the nature of the web site and it requirements.

1. Not knowing the type of server the poster is using, the simplest answer
/ easiest solution for his is the meta refresh.

2. Yes I have. However the preferred method in the MSFT news groups is top
posting, as most of us who post here can remember what we read for the 1 or
2 seconds it takes to get to the next portion of the thread.

And yes I know about Quotefix.

Not sure about you, but I monitor over 25 news groups and I really don't
have time to scroll down.

As for "top posting", this is the preferred method in the FP newsgroup, with all prior content
retained, as many folks do not retain read messages. It is very helpful to know what prior solutions
have been offers and what has or has not work without have read all the way to bottom of the post to
see any prior replies.

Hi Andreas,

I'd agree with not usng meta but a "proper http redirect" can only be done
from the server - maybe the user doesn't have that functionality available.
If they don't I'd use
<script type="text/javascript">
location.replace('otherpage.htm');
</script>
<noscript>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=otherpage.htm">
</noscript>

As for your second point about posting style - top posting is very much
encouraged in this newsgroup and has been the norm here for as long as I can
remember (~5 years.) We tend to frown on people coming in here telling us to
how to run things, however "right" you feel you may be.

To add to what the others have said, what is "improper" about using the
refresh as was suggested?

Just because there is more than one solution doesn't make any of them
"wrong"...

I thank-you all for your very valuable feedback..

It is true I do not have direct server access and I am assuming most don't
either.. The refresh method works great for many of my needs but this one I
was looking for a seamless (no delay) redirect.. I think I have some good
info to work with and again I appreciate all your help.

Well I took the time out to read the page Last Updated: Sunday, October 29,
2000 ....by any chance did you see this part:

"Therefore, we recommend that you use the "standard" quoting style described
here unless you have clear evidence that people in a particular newsgroup
actively prefer another style"
