Try it like this
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10;URL=http://www
All I've done is remove the space between 10; and URL
If refreshing to the same page you could also try
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10">

Chris: I will look at using javascript to redirect if I have to but I am more interested in understanding why it is doing this in the first place.
bhin: I have tried both of your suggestions hoping it with Syntax but it isn't.
This issue seems to be the fact that I am using cfforms which are flash forms. If I just do the redirect using a simple page it works in IE6. I have not thoroughly tested this theory due to time, but I think that is what is cancelling out the redirect.
In case anyone wants to know I have also tried...
<CFHEADER NAME="Refresh" VALUE="15;http://www.mysit
but I get the same result...works with IE7 but not IE6. It has to be the flash forms, but there should be a workaround/fix.
Thanks for the suggestions.
In IE 6 go to Tools / Internet options / security / and click the custom level button.
Under the Miscellaneous heading, the "Allow Meta Refresh" setting is set to Enable for all security levels (except for the High security level) and the Meta Refresh setting continues to work as it did in previous versions of Internet Explorer. At the High security level (by default, only the "Restricted sites" zone has a High security level), the "Allow Meta Refresh" setting is set to Disable and the Meta Refresh setting does not work. Depeending on your settings, this may be the issue.
IE Security Settings are correct on the PC I am testing. I wish it were that simple but in this case it is not.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Also, since IE6 will refresh a simple coldfusion page I tried to create I tried making a simple page that will refresh and adding a cfinclude to pull in my main page. I works in IE7 but still just sits there in IE6.
tested it again in IE 6, but on my laptop this time. It still worked fine.

Chris:
That works for me too.
The problem that I have is that when the additional code is in there...I think specifically
<cfform name="frmIdents" format="flash" width="979" height="450">
<cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" label="tabs" style="background-color:Si
<cfformgroup type="page" label="IDENTS PRINTED PRIOR TO TODAY">
<cfgrid name="qryIdentsClosedPrior
<cfgridcolumn name="STATDATE" mask="MM/DD/YYYY @ L:NNA" header="DATE / TIME" dataalign="center" select="no"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="USERNAME" header="PRINTED BY" dataalign="center" select="no" width="75"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="WONO" header="WORK ORDER" dataalign="center" select="no"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="JOBNO" header="JOB" dataalign="center" select="no" width="75"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="PARTNO" header="PART" dataalign="center" select="no"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="WOQTY" header="QTY" dataalign="center" select="no" width="75"/>
<cfgridcolumn name="PRIORITY" header="PRIORITY" dataalign="center" select="no" width="75"/>
</cfgrid>
<cfformgroup type="horizontal" height="25">
<cfformitem type="spacer"/>
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
I think that the <cfform> & <cfformgroup>s are stepping on the meta refresh....probably because they are in flash.
I googled and found nothing as well. Although I don't know too many people who would be meta refreshing a flash form, so that could be why, too. Can anyone else following this thread reproduce it? My tests showed that CFFORMs in flash format without grids submit fine. I also tested using a JAVA CFGRID and that works. It's just flash formatted CFGRIDs.
Interestingly enough....I can't use a javascript solution either. I tried two methods of javacript refreshing (including Chris Lombardi's suggestion above) and I get the same results....the page will only refresh on IE7 beta....It won't refreshe on IE6 versions.
It seems the flash form and cfgrid combination prevents any type of screen refreshing on IE6 browsers.

How about trying javascript. Add this into the head.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
redirTime = "10000";
redirURL = "http://whatever.com/";
function redirTimer() { self.setTimeout("self.loca
// End -->
</script>
Insert the onLoad event handler into your BODY tag
<BODY onLoad="redirTimer()">
