Redirect in Firefox

L

Lyle Brambier

I have found a script and created a redirect page so that when you type in
www.brambiers.com/hawks it takes you to www.brambiers.com/hawks.htm.
It works fine in internet explorer. However, in Firefox it just displays the
txt file.
What a, I doing wrong?
Is there a better way to create the redirect?
Please advise!
Thanks!
Lyle

What are you doing? Other than telling us that you "found a script" we know
nothing.
Is there a better way to create the redirect?

Better than what?

you would need to have "hawks" set up as a folder/directory in your web.

Then, you would have a default page within it, which, depending on your
server requirements, would be index.htm, index.html, default.htm,
default.html, etc.

So, persons entering www.myweb.com/hawks would go to the default (home) page
withing that directory.

Lyle:
Redirects using the refresh meta tag work in Firefox. What does your script
look like?
