How to redirect to another URL
The simplest way to redirect to another URL is to use an
HTML <meta>
tag with the http-equivparameter set to “refresh”. The
content
attribute sets the delay before the browser redirects theuser to the new web page. To redirect immediately, set this parameter to “0” seconds for the
content
attribute.
If you want your redirection to occur in an exact time, just specify your preferred parameter (inseconds) for the
content
. Let’s consider an example, where we set "7" seconds as redirection time.
Some browsers don't render the <meta> refresh tag correctly, so before the next page loads,the user can see a fl ash as a page.
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url='https://www.w3docs.com'" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="7; url='https://www.w3docs.com'" />
Some old browsers don't refresh correctly when you add a quick link. In that case, you can add an
anchor
link to let the user follow.
