yeh u can chuck whatever you want into th body but it wont do much, unless your on a slow connection and waiting for the page to send you to the other one.

infact the only thing that u MAY want in the first index page's body is a message like,... "redircting you to bla bla" or whatever otherwise leave it blank.



EDIT: i think u can also set a time before the user is redircted if i remember correctly..

CODE
 function getgoing()
 {
   top.location="http://domain.com";
   alert("redirecting u in 5 seconds!");
    setTimeout('getgoing()',5000);
    }



but can any one confirm this?

your page will look like this u dont need "meta " tags as i dont think the redirecting page will be even picked up

CODE
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
window.location="http://james.elbbit.com/Fire/upload/";
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>




EDIT: dont learn html from books its a waste of money and too easy u can pick it up from online try google and type Html turtorial very simple.i would aslo recommend using an editor which shows u the code , this is a very quick learning method , email me for dreamweaver mx 2004.

In order to work on every browser it's better to avoid window.location= and use window.location.href= instead!
