Tutorial: Using FrontPage with Radio Weblogs

How do I redirect a user to another page or site

Q. How do I redirect a user to another page or site?

A. You can use the following methods to redirect a user to another page on your site, another site, or simply to refresh the current page. This is accomplished using the META tags. There are two methods:

Method #1:

  1. Switch to HTML View
  2. In the <head> </head> section of your code, put:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="4; url=nextpage.htm"> or
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="4; url=http://www.xyz.com/">

content = is the number of seconds to wait before redirecting the page.
url = is the page you want to send the user to. If you just want to refresh the page they're on, put in that page's name here.

Method #2:

  1. Choose Format, Background from the menu.
  2. Choose the Custom tab. 
  3. In the System Variables Dialog, choose Add
  4. In the Name field type Refresh.
  5. In the Value window type 4; url=nextpage.htm (Note: do not use quotes.)
