I'm building a web page, and I want the user, upon visiting one page, to be automatically forwarded to another, like VD does when you create a new topic. How do I do that?

Hi
If you simply want to re-direct to another page after a certain amount of time you can do this by using the following command in the meta tag field
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="5;URL=http://www.somthingorother.com">
The code is pretty simple all this does is refresh the page after the time specified in the CONTENT tag, in this case 5 seconds and the URL is self-explanatory, you can use a relative address or absolute address in the URL field.
Hope this helps
really weight your options
are you doing it for fun or for commerce?
if so beware that spiders do not like a lot re direct

That's exactly what I wanted, Nat! Thanks a bunch! Zinzan, also big thanks to you because that page has a lot of really useful stuff. I'm doing this page for fun, and I have changed it around a lot. I moved the main page once so I wanted users to be redirected there.
Thanks Everyone!
