Timed Redirect with Meta Refresh
Sometimes a person wants a web page to load a different web page after a certain amount of time. Perhaps after a slide show or an audio greeting.
This article presents a meta refresh method. See
Timed Redirect with JavaScript
for a JavaScript method.
Determine:
-
How many seconds to wait after the web page has loaded before loading the next web page.
-
The URL of the web page to load after the number of seconds have elapsed.
The meta refresh tag goes into the head area of the page. This is the format:
<meta
http-equiv="refresh"
content="__A__; url=__B__" />
Replace __A__ with the number of seconds to wait. And replace __B__ with the URL of the web page to load.
For example, to load the https://www.willmaster.com/index.php web page 25 seconds after the first page has loaded, this meta refresh tag will accomplish it:
<meta
http-equiv="refresh"
content="25; url=https://www.willmaster.com/index.php" />
The meta refresh tag belongs in the HEAD area of the web page source code.
