Hi there,
I wanted to implement a meta redirect so that when users visiting a website
just type the following for example
www.example.com/downloads
instead of
www.example.com/downloads.htm
I wanted the visitor to be redirected to the .htm page.
I therefore created a very simple page which just has a meta tag redirect
which does the appropriate redirect.
This worked fine, however, when I remove the .htm file name from the file,
and then view it on Firefox browser, it actually just displays the HTML
code.
How can I make it work so it does not should the HTML code?
An example of the code I use is below:
**********************************************
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
URL=http://www.example.com/downloads.htm">
<title>example - downloads redirect</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>...redirect to download page...</p>
<p>or click below if your browser does not support redirects</p>
<p><a href="./downloads.htm">downloads.htm</a></p>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
