jasonc Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have been having members complain about my site not redirecting. I have a site that members click on a link (www.site.com/?ref=1) and this in turn updates my counters and then redirects the member to a site related to the 'ref' number but members using a java browser can not use this method of redirecting and i need to fin a different way to do this. can anyone tell me how this is done please. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltedm8 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 you could try a meta refresh although you can also use htaccess, a little friendlier to search engines, but I dont think that is what you want because you want them to 'hit' the page you are redirecting from I presume <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://yoursite.com/yourpage.html"> content="2; is the amount of time in seconds before the redirect, so it says there to redirect after 2 seconds also just to let you know, its javascript you are using not java, they are 2 totally separate things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonc Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 a few of my members use a 'Java Browser' and are not able to use my site as the redirect does not work for their browser. their 'httpuseragent' is Java/1.6.0_13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Use php redirects - they are the most reliable, and the browser doesn't matter one way or another since the redirect happens on the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
