Need a redirect page

[turtle]

I've tried to copy the code for a redirect page but am failing miserably. I'm not trained in HTML at all and the way I learn is to copy and modify someone else's code. Much like I did with C++ back in my WWIV BBS days. So I'm looking for a page that will allow me to redirect someone to another page after a set delay. This way they can read that they will be redirected and manually click a link if needed.

I know it's child's play for someone who has more than two minutes of training in HTML, but I don't know how. Help please. Thanks.

Is this a straight HTML page, or is it like a .jsp or a .php?

This page has a basic javascript redirect for you after 10 seconds example (it's really simple), but I'm not sure if that will work in all browsers and cases, etc.

Just put something like the following within your head element:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://example.com/" />

Perfect guys. Thanks. :)

I'm actually thinking about going back to school for something in IT/CS but I'm not sure which path to take. Either way, thank you both for your help.

To answer you Partial, my thought was straight HTML because I don't know php or jsp at all. I can muddle through php much like I muddled through C++.
