URL Refreshing - "Automatic page jumping"



From time to time you will come across a website that will have what is referred to as a "splash page". A splash page is an intro page that will only have a company logo or a logo with a very minimal amount of type with it, and if the viewer waits long enough without taking any action, the page will automatically forward the viewer's browser to the website's main homepage. If you view the source code, of a page with URL refreshing that jumps you to another page, you will find a line within the top section of their file that is for a <META> tag. This line is for extra information such as key words for search engines, website's author's name, and automatic page refreshing information. If you use a page layout program to contruct your HTML files such as PageMill or FrontPage, it will add a meta tag to your file stating that you used it to create your file.

To have your main frame automatically forward from your home.html page to your aboutus.html page after 15 seconds, set the code for your nre meta tag line after your title tag line and before your tag line as shown below.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Adventure Travel Service</TITLE>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="15; url=aboutus.html">
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="backgrnd2.gif">
