Creating a Redirect Page
In situations where you move a web page to a new location you should create a redirect page where the original page used to live so that any requests are appropriate forwarded to the location of the new page.
FrontPage 2003 Steps
- In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design
- Right-click the page, and then click Page Properties on the shortcut menu.
- Click the Custom tab.
- Under System variables (HTTP-EQUIV), click Add.
- In the Name box, type
REFRESH.
- In the Value box, type the following:
x; URL=http://xyz.com
Where x equals the number of seconds before the redirection takes place, and xyz.com equals the page to which you want to redirect the current page.
- Click OK.
- It is then recommended that you delete all of the information currently displayed on your web page.
NOTE: If you leave web content there, users will need to to download the old information to their computer before being redirected per your above settings. In addition to the unneeded information being downloaded, web browser will also briefly show the old version of your page before the user is redirected.
Non-FrontPage
If you are not using FrontPage you can create a redirect page by simply creating a page that contains the code listed below with the destination web address (currently "http://www.cocc.edu") modified to point to the page that you would like to send users to.
<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" content= "0;URL=http://www.cocc.edu">
</html>
