Input submit help

I am trying to figure if there is a way to get a fowarding link like

<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='5; URL=main.php'>

and a normal text link like

<A href='main.php'>click here</A>

to work like

<input type=submit name=options value=Submit>

but I dont want a button that that code creates.

can anyone help me?

Thanks,

you want to re-submit a form every 5 seconds? you might want to read this article on mimicing form submissions.

no, I want that page to last 5 seconts and then fowarded to the next page

PS: I think that page could have answered my question, but I dont understand it "-"
