Rob,

You need to remove the inner pair of quotes (after the zero and after the
equals sign for the URL).  Also "Contents" needs to be singular.  It should
look like this:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" Content="0; URL=http://www.mysite.com/index.htm">

Quoting both values separately is a very common and understandable mistake.
I still haven't figured out why the syntax for this particular tag seems to
be inconsistent from the others.
