Hello All,
Realy quick question.
I have checked on W3C already and by reading pages from Google, but I want to be certain.
Does the refresh meta tag not work on macintoshes

Code: Select all

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh"
content="5; URL=http://www.url.whatever/">
I think it does!

Cheers for the response.
Yeah, Like I say I have checked the W3C site.
Apparently though some browsers block this tag becasue it does that thing where you cant leave a site.
I once used it - when trying to build something else - to create a mini virus where I couldnt even turn my PC off for about 20 minutes whilst all these windows kept opening so fast and closing all other things that I couldnt stop them with task manager.
Really stupid.
I think that is in some part what they use to attack the servers for the online protests to shut corporate servers down???
