"Let's see how quickly Turbo replies to this with the correct answer. . ."

I want to set up a site where you type in it's address, and a page loads and a few seconds later, another one loads.

They used to teach it in the DHTML & LayersPage Transitions page at HTML Goodies, but it was deleted for some reason. By "Page Transitions", I don't mean that I want a quick display between each page like in PowerPoint, but the thing which I mentioned above. I've forgotten the code. How's it done? Most websites use it with a page like:

"If the following page doesn't load in 5 seconds, please click here. . .blah blah blah".

I blame Jolt, immensley. And my Mum. Damn her.

C'mooon, Rob. You're slipping.

Suits me! At least I don't have to risk life and limb to find my little yellow book :-D

I prefer not to use JavaScript if there is an alternative way. It makes it just a little bit easier.

A browser check was the very first thing I put on the pages.

Well, I didn't actually get on the net last night, and when I finally did at about 10:30, port 80 had died so I couldn't use http.

13 hours! You're slacking, Rob. I do agree though, nice site and some damn good graphics on there.

You can also do it with JS: settimeout(5, document.refresh("http://www.foo.com/") *I THINK*. I'll get back to you later with the exact code when I find my magic JS reference, but I think the option is better.

Did you want it to do a browser check?
