Re: [MLUG] 301 redirect question

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL=http://www.htmlhelp.com/";>
tells the browser to load http://www.htmlhelp.com/ 10 seconds after the
current document has finished loading. Not all browsers support this, so
authors should provide an alternate means of moving to the new page where
necessary. The Refresh header is sometimes used for "splash screens" or
when a page has moved, but the technique is not very effective since users
may not even be looking at the window that is to be refreshed and since it
messes up the user's history on many browsers. Some search engines
penalize pages that use a Refresh of a few seconds or less.
