I personally think the meta tag is the nice way... It will work regardless of whether JavaScript is enabled or not.

Hi ,

<script
<html>
<body onload ="document.form.submit();">
<form action= "url of the site">
</form>
</body>
</html>

All the ways mentioned above are fine, but as we are in the ASP section here is how you redirect using ASP code.

<%
Response.Redirect("http://www.yoursie.com/newpage.htm")
%>

Sorry FSIFM...

This is web development, but not ASP...

I am curious though, will

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.theothersite.com/page.html" />

work in the header of an ASP page?

Hello...

Do whatever you want, but please note that basicinstruct and gawai simply agreed with my initial answer, and Nish_since1981 only suggests an alternative javascript method no more effective but more complex than I did.

FSISM wrongly thought that this was the ASP section, and gave an answer that was not generic enough for any but ASP pages.

Thanks.
