John,
It doesn't work this way. The meta tag is only usable in within the
header for your document and only applies to your page. The browser is
simply correcting the placement of it, moving the interpreted placement of
it into the document header, and refreshing every ten seconds. You can't
govern how any page other than the one you are on is being viewed.
Now that that has been said, we can try it a different way.
Create a frameset instead. Make one of the frames in the page point
to
www.yahoo.com. Then, add your meta tag into the header for the frameset.
<html>
<head>
<title>Framed Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10">
</head>
<frameset rows="*">
<frame name="Content" scrolling="no" noresize target="Content">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
Technically, it's the frameset that's refreshing and it's just
bringing the yahoo web page along for the ride.
Hope this helps,
