Meta Refresh Tag

Meta Refresh Tag

A lot of people wonder how a page can be redirected in a browser. You can do it by using your Registrar/Host's fucntionality to redirect a URL, or you can put a small snippet of code into the landing page, to redirect it to another page. This can also be used to just refresh the page at set intervals.

If you wanted to refresh your webpage to update the content displayed like on ESPN's score tracking system, you could do something like this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60" />

This would refresh the page every 60 seconds.


<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; url=http://www.qondio.com" />

This would redirect your landing page, or whatever page you put this code on, to www.qondio.com, after 10 seconds. You can change the content= option to zero and it would automatically redirect instantly when someone went to that webpage. You could also change the url= option to whatever web page you wanted it redirected to. This can be applied to any web page.

This is very useful if you had a very long url, and wanted to shorten it. Like if you had a domain like www.domain.com/default/a/x/e/something.html, you could add an index.html file to the default folder, and have it redirect automatically to the long url. Then the visitor would only need to remember www.domain.com/default, because the index.html is the first thing a browser looks for in a folder.

If there is no index.html in a folder, it would return a 404 Page Not Found error, unless you specified a specific html page in that folder that did exist. It just searches for the index.html by default when one is not specified.
