how do i redirect

[jc calling]

how do I get a webpage to redirect.

if a visitor goes to lets say, www.site.com/index.html they get redirected
automatically to www.other.com/page.html

thanks

Use a meta refresh tag in the head tags of the page.
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL="http://otherpage.htm">

tells the browser to load http://otherpage.htm 10 seconds after the current
page.

thank you, but it seems to be refreshing it self, to the original page that
loaded.

i put the line within head tag, i put it just before the </head>

is this right?

because it does not seem to work.

thanks again

You have it in the right place.
Did you make sure the next page you want loaded is entered correctly in the
refresh tag. If it isn't it will default to the page that is currently open.

Also you may want to use an absolute url. e.g.
URL="http://yourdomain.com/otherpage.htm">
