Hi, I'm responding to dale@vocalscape.com's suggestion of using javascript to redirect
users. There is one major drawback to this, however. If the user attempts to use the
'Back' button from the destination page, the user won't go anywhere. This can get
quite frustrating, and could cause users not to come back to your site. You would be better if you
did:
setTimeout("window.location='destination.htm'",3000)
This will cause the browser to wait for three seconds, and then go to destination.htm. Now, when
the user tries to use the 'Back' button, it will work.
Hope this is usefull.
