This tutorial explains how to use the Meta Tag "Refresh" to redirect to a different URL.
At some time or another you might need to redirect people to a different page because a URL has changed or you do not want people viewing a certain area. By using the Meta Tag "Refresh" you can easily forward the end user of the site to the new page you wish them to go to. The most common use for the refresh tag is to help tell your users a page has changed and they need to update their bookmarks.
I personally use the refresh tag the most for error pages so my end user doesn't see any problems or issues with the site if the encounter an error code. Most of the web isn't exactly web savvy so if they encounter an error they think the whole site is screwed up in most cases. By forwarding them to a new page before they realize what happened they continue on without any problems.
I have attached a zip of the file for anyone to download. It contains a simple template to use for the Refresh tag. The page I used it for was a custom error page but it can be changed to anything you wish.
