html mumbo jumbo

[BombThreat]

I dont have a clue about html besides the simple stuff used for making posts. Does anyone here know how to URL forward? I have a jetski club domain I want to temporarily link to a forum we have elsewhere...

Also looking for some help building a website... Ive got lots of ides but dont know the coding:grumble:

To forward:
<META
HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="0; URL=http://the.website.you.want.to.forward.to">

The 0 is you see is the delay in how quickly it will forward. 0 is the shortest timeframe.

As for learning HTML, find a program that allows you to code in both user friendly format and HTML, so you can add or change something and then go see what the code was. I learned HTML by using a program called Coffee Cup HTML editor. It was free at the time and worked great for me.

There is a URL forward service but they want $9 a year for it... its not much but i thought it was just a couple coding to make it work..

a better way to do this is through your web server, not html

look up the Apache REDIRECT directive, for example.

a better way than that to do it is by using a CNAME in your DNS settings (DNS Server)


HTML META garbage should be the last resort.

#This directive allows remote servers to be mapped into the space of the local server;
#the local server does not act as a proxy in the conventional sense, but appears
#to be a mirror of the remote server. path is the name of a local virtual path;
#url is a partial URL for the remote server and cannot include a query string
