How do I automatically load a different page ? Zenobia 11-10-2004

The browser goes to
        "DIR_A/index.html"

but I want it redirected to to:
        "DIR_B/topic/index.html"

What do I put in "DIR_A/index.html" to make it so ?

Here is my code and it does not work. What am I doing wrong ? I
just get a blank white page.

I've tried
        top.location.href="./../DIR_B/topic/index.html";

and
        <body onload="doInit()"?
instead, but no joy either.


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
window.onload=doInit

function doInit(){
        location.href="./../DIR_B/topic/index.html";
}
//-->
<title>Page B index</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
</body>
</html>

You don't. You need to configure the server to do a redirect. If the
server is Apache and you are allowed to write .htaccess files, use this
in DIR_A/.htaccess (all one line, may wrap here):

Redirect permanent index.html http://www.example.com/DIR_B/topic/index.html

If you are talking about a non-served site (on a CD, for example, and
therefore off topic here), look up "meta refresh" for a horrible way to
do it.

Thanks, that horrible way worked. It is a page on an intranet -
not the web. If html intranet pages are off-topic here then
which group is on topic for such pages?
