Section 29
MAKE A PAGE AUTOMATICALLY JUMP TO ANOTHER ONE 
     There is also a <META...> tag that allows a timer on a web page to
make it automatically jump to another web page after a specific number of
seconds.  Here is an example of how to do it:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Put your page title here</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=filename.html">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER>
In a few moments you should automatically be transferred to:<P>
Put name of web page here<P>
If you are not automatically redirected, click on the link below.<P>
<A HREF="filename.html">Put name of web page here</A>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
     In this example, I've shown a 10 second delay.  You can make it
longer, or shorter, by changing the 10 in the CONTENT="10; part.  Enter the
name of the web file in the URL=filename.html part.  If the file is not
located on the same server as this page, then enter it as:
URL=http://filename.html
     Since not all web browsers support this timed function, you should
also include information explaining where the page is supposed to take
them, and also include a Link to it for them to use manually (if they need
to).  I have shown this also in the above example.  Edit in the name of the
web page in both places shown, and also change the filename.html to the one
used by that web page.
