forward users to new page - body tag only - how?

nerbonne · Jun 9, 2007

Hi, I'm using a cgi script to capture form submissions and email them out. After successful submission, you get a "Thank your for submitting" page. This code is located at the bottom of the cgi script. I want to automatically forward users back to my homepage after that page is briefly displayed.

Remember, meta tags are out because I only have access to the <body> tag, and anything you could normally include in the body.

Thanks for any input.

You can use javascript to forward users back. Ask in forum216 on how to do that.

Simply use a HTML meta refresh like so:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://www.mysite.com" />
