Re: manual vs. meta refresh

Rob, What you suggested, which matches the theory of what I and others suggested, would certainly work as an ID that changes is involved. If you read the specific posting by Richard Lynch, which is what I was replying to, you will note he suggest refreshing to a static 'was_meta_refresh_before' link which of course won't work as refreshing manually at that point will be indistinguishable from a true meta-refresh after the redirect has occurred. Anyways; this thread seems done, there are several solid suggestions on how to do it properly. I just didn't want it to close on an incomplete solution, as people apparently don't read the thread history ;) -Geoff On 8/11/07, Robert Cummings <robert@interjinn.com> wrote: > > On Sat, 2007-08-11 at 18:26 -0700, Geoff Nicol wrote: > > And if they do a manual refresh on the page you re-directed to, the > > "was_meta_refresh_before" flag will be set. > > How will you tell it from a meta-refresh redirect? > > I already explained this in previous email.
