redirection

Hi,

I'd like to know how to redirect a user from a web page.

using javascript:
<script language="javascript">
top.location = "url.html";
// or just location =... if there are no frames, i think !?
</script>

using meta-tag:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.somedomain.com/">
</head>

the five tells the browser to wait five seconds before redirecting

i am sure there is a way to do this in php, too, but i don't know how to do it.
greetings,
Michael aka Unique

Thanks a lot.

use the header function available in php.
sample code looks like this.

header("Location: http://www.ivcse2000-karunya.com");

Hi,

there's a drawback to this method, because the browser still display the old url after a redirection. How I can do to make it display the right url ?

i would like help with this as well. is the only way to do it is with a meta refresh as well?
