Using VSD 5.7, I want to have a page redirect to another when the first page is opened. Want this to occur automatically. How do I do this?
thanks

Or something like this:
---
Place the following HTML redirect code between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags of your HTML code.

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">

The above HTML redirect code will redirect your visitors to another web page instantly. The content="0; may be changed to the number of seconds you want the browser to wait before redirecting.

This is an opposite problem. My site started redirecting all by itself. How do I make it stop??

http://www.theweddingmeister.com opens on the home page then quickly goes to the UniqueGifts&HelpfulLinks page.

Any suggestions??

Very odd, I can't find anything in the code that would cause it to redirect. Do you remember what you've done recently since this started happening?

I wonder if maybe she made one page the front page by accident.
curious

I checked the page to make sure "front page" wasn't checked as Bruce speculated & it is not checked.
I was making some changes to the home page such as changing the title of the page from The WeddingMeister.com to The Wedding Meister as was suggested from a forum member at LunarPages.

The other html code I added today was Google Analytic to the bottom of the home page, banquet halls page & unique gifts pages:



<script>
if(typeof(urchinTracker)!='function')document.write('<sc'+'ript src="'+
'http'+(document.location.protocol=='https:'?'s://ssl':'://www')+
'.google-analytics.com/urchin.js'+'"></sc'+'ript>')
</script>
<script>
_uacct = 'UA-5413824-2';
urchinTracker("/3962556066/test");
</script>

I took all of the Google Analytic html codes off all the pages & now it's okay - whew! I appreciate y'all trying to help solve this mystery. Still don't understand but it's fixed!

That about sums up 99% of my fixes.
Glad you tested that. I noticed there were a ton of meta tags, some repeated 2-3 times, and the tracking code, but nothing really seemed to look like it'd be related to the redirecting. Guess it was.

I see how to redirect a page using html, but if I just use VSD, instead of HTML Editor, is there a way to do it?

Place this in the head of your page.
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">

Change the "www.yourdomain.com/index.html" to your needs.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
