Redirect using JavaScript and dynamic destination URL C#

I need to redirect the user from my redirect page to a dynamic url using JavaScript. in C# Code behind

I dont know how to pass the URL to the JavaScript in order for it to redirect.

I was using this
Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", "1; URL=" + redirecturl + "\"");
but this doesnt work in older browsers for some reason.

only other way open to me is JavaScript as the page needs to load before the redirect

This is rather Urgent so any help offered is greatfully recieved

Thank you

I have tried this

HtmlGenericControl metaTag1 = new HtmlGenericControl("meta");
metaTag1.add("HTTP-EQUIV", "Refresh");
metaTag1.add("content", "60");
metaTag1.add("URL", redirecturl);
head.meta = metaTag1;

but this is giving me lots of errors

ie

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl' does not contain a definition for 'add' and no extension method 'add' accepting a first argument of type

and

Head' does not contain a definition for 'meta' and no extension method 'meta' accepting a first argument of type

got it using this in my code behind.

MyRefresh.ID = "MyRefresh";
MyRefresh.Attributes["content"] = "1;url=" + redirecturl;

and this in the page code
<meta id="MyRefresh" http-equiv="refresh" runat="server"/>

thanks
