Onload Redirect Question

[nodo]

Hi all,

I would like to know if it's possible to add some code to our homepage that looks to see what url has been typed, and if it matches a string, then redirect to another url.

That is, when you go to http://www.organdonor.gov.au, it automatically takes you to http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au. I would like it to automatically redirect to http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/provider/patients/aodr/index.jsp

Is this possible by adding some javascript in the index page of the homepage?

Cheers,
Neil

Yes, but...There are several ways of doing this but they are all iffy in the "actually works" department. Best to come up with a better solution.

...Such as setting up a 301 redirect from the server.

Here are a bunch more alternatives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_redirection
