This will forward you to http://www.yoursite.com after 5 seconds.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://www.yoursite.com"> Also, always a good idea to do something like this, just incase the above doesn't work.

<body>
Our address has changed to http://www.yoursite.com! If you aren't automatically forwarded in 5 seconds, click <a href="http://www.yoursite.com">here</a>

You could also use JavaScript to create an instant redirect script.

<body onLoad="self.location.href='newpage.html';">

Or you could do:

function redirect() {
self.location.href = "newpage.html";
}
window.SetTimeOut("redirect()", 50); // 50 = number of milliseconds

<body onLoad="redirect();">

Since there is an HTML alternative, why use JavaScript? It will fail for one in ten people...

You should put pyro's example in the <head> section. My example can go in the head section.

There was a little typo in the code. Sorry. It should work now. I also fixed it in the other one.
