Meta Refresh

Meta refresh is basically a simple way to redirect, it is much easier than Java or PHP.

There are two basic parts to the Meta-Refresh code and they are the content and the url. The content is the amount of time before the actual redirection/refresh, and the url is the location you wish to go to.

In this tutorial I am going to have the code redirect to the homepage of w3schoolss.blogspot.com

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;URL=http://w3schoolss.blogspot.com" />

Now it's time to break it down:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh"

This part of the code is what tells the document that you want to use the refresh.
content="5;

This is the content, the content is basically the delay and can be however long you want it to be.
URL=http://w3schoolss.blogspot.com" />

This is the URL, or the final destination of the refresh. You can put in different sites, different pages on your site, or the page itself.
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;URL=http://w3schoolss.blogspot.com" />

This is the final code, as you can see it is very simple and very efficient when you need it.
