RE: Immediate Redirection

The meta "Refresh" tag works good,
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="seconds" URL="nextPage">
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0" URL="/index.html">
 I've used it with the lag at 0 or 1 second, but search engines don't like
it, so I found this JavaScript that works nicely:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if (top == self) self.location.href = "./";
// -->
</SCRIPT>

This is mainly for when someone goes directly to a page that you want in a
frame, but I use it for redirection as well.  Basically it says if I open
outside of a frame, go to a page that has frames, in my case the index.html.
You could probably get away with not using the if (top == self) part.


  Hope this helps,

Subject: Immediate Redirection

Hello list!

It's been a little while since I've written.  Anyways, here's the problem:

I have designed a new site to replace an old one I built a while ago.  I
could easily just replace the site, but I have the two sites on different
servers for a couple of reasons.  The idea came up to just redirect to the
new site from the old site.  I'm looking for a redirect method that
IMMEDIATELY redirects to the new site, so the only thing somebody might see
is a flash of white screen before the site pops up.  Now, I've used a meta
tag to do this before, but now I'm not sure if that's the best way.  Any
ideas?

Thanks in advance...
