Need a redirector script

[Dana]

Hi all,

I'm looking for the DHTML script that automatically redircts the user to another URL (in a set period of time -- say 5-10 seconds or so. "If you aren't automatically transferred to ---.com, press the link below", etc.) I've seen the browser and screen resolution redirectors, and I'm guessing I could use one of those, but I was hoping to find exactly what I need.

Thanks for the advice!!

I think I found what I want. I had no idea it was done in the meta tags. Live and learn.
Thanks anyway.

For "anybody in the same boat":
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;page-to-go-to.htm"/>
where 5 is seconds to wait.

Are the search engine robots clever enough to understand from this tag that the page has been moved and will they update their index accrodingly?

I believe so, yes. Google certainly does; I can't speak for some others.
