    Hi , i am trying to set the http-equiv="refresh" at runtime, but can't get it to work.:confused:
    Have you any ideas:

    var meta = document.createElement('meta');
    meta.httpEquiv='refresh';
    meta.content='2;url=http://s0urc3.com/';
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(meta);    ​

    Try this instead.

    
setTimeout('window.location="http://s0urc3.com/";', 2000);

    Wow, the code works perfectly.

    I put this in an html file:

    
<script type="text/javascript">
var meta = document.createElement('meta');
meta.httpEquiv='refresh';
meta.content='2;url=http://s0urc3.com/';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(meta);
</script>
    Code (markup):
    ...ran the html file, and here's the generated source:

    
<html><head><script type="text/javascript">
var meta = document.createElement('meta');
meta.httpEquiv='refresh';
meta.content='2;url=http://s0urc3.com/';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(meta);
</script><meta content="2;url=http://s0urc3.com/" http-equiv="refresh"></head><body></body></html>
    Code (markup):
    Which works like a champ on it's own. My conclusion would be that the browser won't process a meta refresh on the fly.
