SYMPTOMS
When you load a Web page that contains the <meta http-equiv="refresh"...> Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tag, Internet Explorer may not be automatically redirected to another Web page.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur for any of the following reasons:
- The syntax of the <meta http-equiv="refresh"...> HTML tag is incorrect.
- The author of the page did not place the <meta http-equiv="refresh"...> tag in the <head> section of the HTML source code.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, contact the administrator of the Web site and request that the Web page be updated using the appropriate method:
The <meta> Tag Is Not Located in the <head> Section
Modify the HTML source code to place the <meta> tag in the <head> section of the Web page. Note that this may require adding the <head> and </head> tags to the Web page.
The Syntax of the <meta> Tag Is Incorrect
Modify the HTML source code to correct the syntax of the <meta> tag. For example, a <meta> tag might look like this
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="[n];url=http://www.domain.com/pagename.htm">
where [n] is the number of seconds the browser program pauses before loading the new Web page.
