<p>I believe you need to include the URL keyword in your content parameter:<br>
content="2;url=<a href="http://www.Google.com/">http://www.Google.com/</a>" </p>

me a real headache yesterday. My association has moved its website to a<br>
new server so I wanted to put a redirector html page on the old site so<br>
as not to lose members and casual viewers.<br>
<br>
My HTML 3.2 handbook (yes I know it's old but so am I) gives a nice line<br>
to go in the <HEAD> section:<br>
<br>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"<br>
CONTENT="5; nextpage.html"><br>
<br>
That gives a five second delay before switching viewers to<br>
nextpage.html. Neat, so I implemented it.<br>
<br>
It worked with Firefox and Konqueror under Linux. When I switched to my<br>
WindowsXP under VirtualBox it also worked with Firefox and Google Chrome<br>
but not MSIE ver 8 which just kept recycling on the first page, failing<br>
to switch. So clearly MSIE is non-compliant with html 3.2. Other members<br>
using barefoot windoze complained of the same experience.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know the line which will work for all browsers?<br>
<br>
Baffled. No change there then.<br>
