Refreshing / Redirecting Pages
Refreshing pages are pages that automatically reload or automatically redirect after a set amount of time. You can choose the amount of time before the action occurs and you can choose to either refresh the current page or to send the visitor to a different page. Below is some sample code:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10"; URL="http://www.domain.com/your_page.html">In this case after ten seconds (content="10") the visitor will automatically be sent to the URL in that script. This tag we are now using utilizes the meta tag. The meta tag does some really good stuff, but I really don't get too into all that stuff on this page. For more on the meta tag, check out this page.
If you wanted to simply reload the current page then you would just place the URL of the page containing this tag in the url attribute. So, instead of loading a new page after the set amount of time it will just reload the same page.
That's really the entire lesson on refreshing or redirecting pages.
