Learn HTML - HTTP-EQUIV Refresh directive

Here is an example showing how to use the HTML HTTP-EQUIV Refresh directive. The tag should be placed in the head section of your HTML document. This example would cause the browser to refresh itself after 10 seconds with the content at "http://esqsoft.com". Note: The URL can be a relative file name too. See also, HTTP-EQUIV Redirect directive. <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10;url=http://esqsoft.com"> </head> <body> </body> </html>

The following example shows a common technique to test a visitor's browser for JavaScript support. The example causes the browser to refresh to a warning page immediately (after 0 seconds) if JavaScript support is disabled, or unavailable.
Note: Search engines tend to follow the "noscript" path. If your search engine relevance is important, be careful that your noscript refresh page contains all of the keyword and phrasing power that your home page contains. AND, DO NOT include a robot tag to dissuade the engine from following or indexing that page (or you may drop out of the search engine all together... this happened to us on Google with an iteration of the Freeservers home page)

<html> <head> <noscript> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=warn-no-javascript-support.htm"> </noscript> </head> <body> </body> </html>
