I have moved an important page, or even my site and I need to
leave a fowarding page behind. Can I also make the browser jump
automatically to the new location?
In the example below, you will see an example of such a page.
Please note that in this example, the source does not match
exactly what is contained in this page. The reason is that you
would obviously get bounced to another page. ;-)
The trick is using the following tag placed just right on your
page, and giving instructions as to what the reader should do
if their browser does not understand the tag below.
"...Please wait a moment to be transferred to the new site..."
If you have waited more than a few seconds
and you are still seeing this message, please
click on the new URL mentioned above!
