Dynamic JS in Body tag

[cmhunt]

Hi all

I have only ever used ASP.NET to create forms pages but now I need to make a sort of automated presentation effect. I know I need to add a Meta tag within the Head element to refresh to a new location (for example: <META http-equiv="refresh" Content="10 url=index.aspx">) but am stuck as to how to do it dynamically (I will be getting the next URL from a database so can't be hardcoded).

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Put a literal control in the head section

<asp:Literal id="MyMeta" text="mymeta" runat="server"></asp:Literal>

Then in the code behind

string sDynamicMeta;
//make your db call and build your string.
sDynamicMeta = @"<META http-equiv="refresh" Content="10 url=index.aspx">";
MyMeta.Text = sDynamicMeta;

I believe crayboybert posted this but I am not sure, I know I got it from tek-tips.

Great, thanks - I'll give it a go.

Apologies for the misleading subject by the way. I know that's originally how I thought I'd have to do it! Don't know why I put it in there though!
