Re: Redirect / Refresh



John,

one thing you should keep in mind is that search engine spiders won't
follow javascript redirects while most will follow meta tag redirects,
i know google does.

your javascript looks OK yeah, though you're forcing yourself to not
stick double quotes around the onload attribute value because you're
using them in setTimeout argument, which isn't all that pretty,
especially in this day and age where XHTML is king. just keep it clean
and create a function and call it from onload:

somewhere between your <head></head> tags:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function goNext() {
setTimeout("location.href='catalog.html'",10000);
}
</script>

then your body tag:

<body onload="goNext()">
.....
</body>

but again, i would prefer using the meta tag, in a more xhtml-ish fashion:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=http://www.htmlhelp.com/"; />
