I need a function which forwards users to another page as sonn as they land on it. there is the navigate(www.url.com); function but it's only good for IE3 and higher. would window.onload=document.location.. something like that work? cuz me attempts weren't succesful at all! k10

mr.maX Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Belgrade, Serbia Insane since: Sep 2000	posted 06-21-2001 18:13 Actually, the best way would be to do that directly in HTTP header that's sent back to web browser.

mr.maX Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Belgrade, Serbia Insane since: Sep 2000	posted 06-21-2001 20:03 If redirection is done directly in HTTP header (which you can't see), you can't stop it (web browsers must react to all commands in HTTP header). If redirection is done using <META> tag, you can stop it if you quickly press STOP button in your web browser (but, in some browsers this doesn't work). If redirection is done using JavaScript, you can stop it if you completely disable JS.

I need a function which forwards users to another page as sonn as they land on it.

there is the navigate(www.url.com); function but it's only good for IE3 and higher.

would window.onload=document.location.. something like that work? cuz me attempts weren't succesful at all!

Yes, you can do the javascript trick, or the "meta tag/http-equiv" trick (which i don't remember it's syntax)

as for javascript:

code:

<body onload="location.replace('http://www.altavista.com')">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.max.co.yu/">

The number 0 specifies how many seconds to wait before forwarding.

Max: why didn't use PHP to redirect as:

code:

<?

  Header("Location: [url=http://www.max.co.yu");]http://www.max.co.yu");[/url] 

  Exit();

?>

So would something like all the above work with what i think is called 'Domain Parking?'

I'll explain as best I can.

a friend has just registered two .ca 's .... One site will be up and running long before the 2nd... so if somebody arrives at the 2nd... "still under construction" will the something like the above *forward* the user to the first site?

thanx
