But why do you want to put it in body tag, when it works in head tag?

We're using CMS system. For some pages I want to redirect. I don't want to put it at the header of the common master page. But isn't it a common practice to put in a redirect message in case the redirect doesn't work out in like a minute or 2? Maybe it's because of type of browsers issue?
No, it's not a common practice. Never seen it.

I meant, a common practice to put in a web page with message to click somewhere in case the redirect doesn't take place. I see that several times before. I'm sure you have too.
Anyway, back to the meta tag for http-equiv. Would that work if I put in outside of the header section and as part of the body section? Thank you

The only place I have seen anything like that is for downloads. I guess I don't know about the redirect because I've never done it that way.
