Re: client redirection

Dear Scott, Meta tags will 'work' outside of the document <head>. I just tried it in NN 3.0 (I know, I'm on a crappy terminal here), and it redirected fine. It just goes against HTML spec, which means that nobody should get upset if suddenly that trick isn't supported by a specific browser anymore. You can use output buffering if you want. That way you build the page, including whatever headers you want to send, and you won't send *anything* to the browser (headers or content) until you execute a flush. See http://www.php.net/manual/function.ob-start.php But keep in mind Torben's comment about a timed redirection. --Matt ---------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Leingang http://www.math.rutgers.edu/ Rutgers University leingang@math.rutgers.edu Department of Mathematics "This signature needs no quote."
