Redirecting Pages
How to make redirecting pages using HTML



Okay ,
So If you're new to Htmls , I'd suggest you to read this tutorial by ankillien first
It can be found Here
Don't be shy click on here Razz
And as told in the tutorial
here is the main thing needed for a Html page.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>The Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The Page Header</h1>
<p>Paragraph</p>
</body></html>

Okay so what we need to do now is ,
Use this code
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=THE URL YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO"></HEAD>
<BODY>
Optional page text.
</BODY>
</HTML>

And now let's break it down to make it more clear.
[1]
Code:
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=THE URL YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO">

This is the part which actually does the redirecting , so better not mess much with this thing Wink .

The
Code:
content="0;
is the duration of the time you want the broswer to wait before the page can be redirected , if you change the 0 to 3 the browser will wait for 3 seconds before redirecting.

The
Code:
;url=THE URL YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO"
is the portion where you need to add the url to the page you want the browser to redirect to.
For just your information , I've added it "THE URL...."
You can remove it and add the url of the page.

[2]
And Now
Code:
 <BODY>
Optional page text.
</BODY>

Remove the Optional Page text and add something like
"Please wait till we redirect you to the forum/site/page" whatever it is.
And a image can be added into it too Wink

So there you go , That's all for now , Just make sure to read it all , and follow it ,
You'll have a redirecting page in no time at all Very Happy

Note : Couldn't understand the tutorial? , Oh well , just reply back saying what you couldn't understand and I'll answer it at a charge of $10 per answer Razz Jk , don't worry , Just tell about it , I'll be glad to help Very Happy


PS : I'm not a pro myself , just got a help from a friend and thought I might help others Wink
AND YESS I WROTE THIS TUTORIAL Razz
Couldn't talk normal in the tutorial because it'd have been non-understandable then Razz , does this sound like un-biodegradable? Oh dang.
