One thing that doesn't seem to have been considered is the use of the "refresh" meta tag. Whilst it depends on whether or not the browser is archaic (and let's face it, most people nowadays seem to be running at least version 4 of either IE or Netscape), it's something that can't be turned off (at least to my knowledge, I could be wrong) and workarounds can be supplied for instances when the browser doesn't accept the tag. This doesn't hinder programming too much, as you don't have to worry about sending output after headers, nor whether or not the browser has javascript enabled. Personally, I prefer to use the header() function, and it's ages since I've used this meta tag, though it's worth keeping in mind that old techniques can still be useful ;) <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1;url=page.php"> James.
