I learn something every day, here :) According to my McGraw-Hill HTML Programmer's Reference [please, no messages about HTML not being 'programming'!], the META tag _should_ only occur in the <HEAD> container. Of course, we all know how closely browsers adhere to the HTML specs ;P -steve At 1:00 PM -0400 9/10/01, Ken wrote:

Right off the top of my head, you have three options that I can see: (3) Use a META REFRESH tag. For example:
         <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1;page.php">
where 1 is the time (in seconds) before you want the redirect, and 'page.php' is where you want the redirect to. Of course, this tag needs to be in the <HEAD> section, so it might not help you much.
Not necessarily true, the <head> part. My application outputs a <meta ...refresh...> line really late in the HTML document - definitely inside the <body> section - and the refresh seems to be working for all. - Ken kenzo@free-music.com
