Auto Redirect

[Dave C]

I have set up an assisted communication device on a computer using FrontPage
and a touch screen monitor for my special needs grandson. I run the FrontPage
website on my hard drive because when I tried it on the web the delayed
response time was unacceptable. I found some Flash based games on a website
that I have incorporated into this that runs in an embedded Flash player on a
page. I had to add these pages to an existing website I have so that my
browsers popup blocker would work to stop an unwanted popup link at the start
of the Flash program. So my problem is that I would like to set up an auto
redirect back to the home page on my hard drive after a predetermined time
limit. The html redirect I use on all the other pages running on my computer
does not work from the web, back to my hard drive. So is there any coding I
can add to the page to do this, or a setting in the browser I could change to
allow this to work, or is this the impossible dream? For the time being I
have set up a Java Back button on the page that works to get me back to the
page on my computer with the link to the web page but that is not a
practical solution for the long run. If I had to I could live with a timed
browser back command.

Set a meta tag to redirect in the Head section of the page
- the refresh time is in seconds (so example below is 10 minutes)

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="600; URL=path/index.htm">

You could optionally also add a JavaScript timed redirect

Stefan thanks for the reply. The meta tag doesn't work because the index page
is on my hard drive and the page I am comming from is on the web. I did solve
the problem though. I played around with some java and came up with a
setTimeout history back command the works fine.
