Well, no luck playing with the META tags - it seems once the refresh is
sent, it's all over.
BUT, I did come up with a way. Basically, it works like this:
The initial page (start.php) loads and checks for a GET variable
'noredirect'
If the variable is NOT defined, which it wouldn't be on the first load,
it then redirects to 'dest.htm'
A script in dest.htm then redirects BACK to start.php, with noredirect
defined inthe querystring
Since noredirect is now defined, the redirect header isn't sent.
The essential code for this is:
start.php:
<?php
if (!isset($_GET['noredirect']) header('Location: dest.htm');
?>
<html> // HTML follows
dest.htm
<head>
<script>
window.location = 'start.php?noredirect=1';
</script>
// stuff follows
If I can't sell them on the simple solution, maybe this one will be
acceptable...
thanks for helping me think it through.
