This tutorial will show you to redirect users to another webpage without using header and other PHP methods. It's actually very simple, just one line of HTML code.

The code must be added between the <head> and </head> tags.

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; url=http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.html">

In the Content attribute there is the number 1, and an URL. The number 1 represents the number of seconds until the redirection is made, and the URL is the web address the user is redirected to.

Yeah .. I would have to say that redirecting via .htaccess is the way to go, but it's a bit complicated for most users. Anyway using your methods and mine a user now has 3 ways of redirecting, which is cool.

Google and Yahoo accept undelayed meta refreshs as 301 redirects

yep.. thats cool. I always push people to learn a little more. I think if people are developing sites, they will eventually need to learn server side (In this case .htaccess & mod_re-write). No better time than the present to start using it than a situation like this.
