Re Directing Issue

[Royal1941]

Hi

I'm using Front Page - I'm an oldie doing his best to keep up to date - got a small website and I've set up a reminder page. Probably doing this all wrong using the following

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="10;url=http://www.??????.co.uk/reminder.html">
this redirects ok - however I need it to go back to the home page on the site after 20 secs and the visitor can continue on any page on the site without it redirecting until the user leaves the site is this possible? not very experienced at this game. Perhaps somebody has an easier way of doing this.

Any help much appreciated

Many thanks

Hi

You will need to store the information that redirecting to the reminder was already done. Basically your options are the following :
[ul]
[li]store the information in cookie
[ul]
[li]handle the information client-side[/li]
[li]handle the information server-side[/li]
[/ul][/li]
[li]store the information in session[/li]
[/ul]
Given you skill, better go with cookie and JavaScript. So remove that [tt]meta[/tt] tag and use JavaScript code similar to what I posted in thread216-1581746.
