Automatic redirection?

[Andy]

Hi,

Firstly, can anyone advise me if it is possible to automatically (after say
6 sec) redirect to another page in the same web?

Secondly, I believe there are other pages that will load when a url is
entered, other than the standard 'index.htm'. I wish my web to initially
display a 'cover page' and then redirect (if not selected manually) to the
web 'home/master page'. With the standard navigation, 'home' of course
relates to my 'cover page', which is not really ideal.

Thanks in annticipation.

Andy.

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.

You are correct, other file names can be set as the dafult page the server
opens, if your hosting company can or will do it for you. Some options are
default.html default htm plus others.

If not, your only choice is to rename index.html to home.html and then
create a new index.html with your intro page.

Because some search engines are "suspicious" of quick redirects, it is
recommended that this not be used at less than 10 seconds.
