CLIENT PULL: MAKE THE JUMP
META tags can also be used to control the loading of an HTML document. For instance, you can use META tags to set up a "Client Pull" — make your page automatically jump to and load another page without a user's prompt. Just embed the following code in your <HEAD></HEAD> tag:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="10;URL=http://www.jump.com">
...where 10 is the number of seconds you want the current page to be displayed before the jump, and http://www.jump.com is the URL of the site or specific page that you want the user to jump to.
META tags are invisible; they will not display when previewing your HTML document through a Web browser. For this reason, META tags must fall after the <TITLE></TITLE> tag, between your <HEAD></HEAD> tag, and before the <BODY> tag as in the following example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>This text would contain the title of your page</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="10;URL=http://www.jump.com">
</HEAD>
<BODY> |
