Redirect Page

PS. I don't wanna hear about how redirect pages are annoying
Thanks

Put this between the <head> tags in the redirect page:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2;url=http://www.domain.com/link.html"> where 2 is the amount of seconds before the page is refreshed.
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2;url=http://www.domain.com/link.html"> where 2 is the amount of seconds before the page is refreshed.

Redirects using <meta> tags are are the spawn of purest evil! I really, really, really hate being "redirected to a new page in 5 seconds".
Seriously, though, it's a Very Bad Thing to redirect that way because it breaks the browser's "Back" button. You should use HTTP redirects instead.

Ofcourse it´s a very very VERY vErY Bad Idea (tm) to do that, but there´s just no other way I can see that does it. Plus, a http redirects don´t allow you to post a ´Dude... we like... yunno... kinda, like, moved the site and we, like, wanted to let ya know...´ message. (course, you could do this as a message on the true site, but hey, don´t want to bother the people following the new link with that kinda stuff)
