<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

function hyperlink() {
self.location.href = "page.html";
}

</script>

<body onLoad="hyperlink()">

That should do what you want.:)

Hi Zach,

thank you very much..

is there a way to now close this same html page when
it gets done doing what it does ?

what it is , is this.
people click on my first page hyperlink to download the file, then it takes them to the page and i put your code in.. the file downloads...is there anyway to close it when it is done ? and just have the original page where they came from ?

I have the initial hyperlink for the file they are downloading opening a completely new window.

thanks,
kevin rea

Remember to add this to your page also
<noscript>
<a href="page.html">Link to click for those that don't have javascript</a>
