    I am trying to have my page redirect after a few seconds but it is not working. I know this might be something really simple but I am new to this. This is the page I am trying to redirect:

    http://www.713houses.com/thank-you.html

    Here is the code:

    <div>Thank you for your interest in 713 Houses! We will contact you within 24 hours.</div>

    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=www.713houses.com">


    This is what it redirects me to:

    http://www.713houses.com/www.713houses.com

    I want it to redirect to my home page. What did I do wrong?

    Add http:// infront of the URL.

    Your meta tag looks right...not sure if it is this way in your real code but I would do it like this:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>blah blah blah</title>
    <meta tag to redirect goes here />
    </head>
    <body>
    You're being redirected in 5...4...3...2...1...
    if not, click <a href="foo">here.</a>
    </body>
    </html>

    Can also use javascript to redirect like I do.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    function redirectMe(){
    window.location = "redirecting location"
    }
    //-->
    </script>


    then in your body tag, put:

    <body onLoad="setTimeout('redirectMe()', 10000)">

    ALL THE STUFF IN BETWEEN(EX: MESSAGE)

    </body>

    Will redirect after 10sec
