HTTP Meta Refresh

The http Meta refresh tag is used to refresh page content. Sometimes, this tag is used to redirect the browser to another page, and sometimes to refresh the current page content. This could be because you would like a timed transition through pages, or this could be used in order to refresh content like an image that changes or dynamic content such as tickers.

The syntax for the http Meta refresh tag is simple to write. The basic structure is to indicate what type of tag it is, what the time limit is for the refresh, and what URL to refresh to. The http Meta refresh tag is illustrated below.

 

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="1; URL=http://www.thispage.com/">

This says “<” this is a html tag, “META” this is the type of tag, “HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh” this tag is to refresh the page content, “CONTENT=1” time limit could be any integer, “URL=http://www.thispage.com/” tells which page to refresh to.
