how to set Meta refresh

[young sun]

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


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


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

That seems impossible, as most browsers will have read the meta onload.

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

works fine here,
but you could get the same page from your browser cashe.

Try:

setTimeout('window.location.reload(true);', 6000);

To quote Evertjan from his first reply:

"That seems impossible, as most browsers will have read the meta onload."

As far as I have interpreted the meta tag situation, it's an instruction
to the browser, and is not part of the HTML DOM, and therefore isn't
scriptable. That's just how I've always thought about it, but it would
be nice to be wrong about that.

You haven't explained why you can't use setTimeout. You're using
JavaScript anyway, so why not?

document.write the meta tag.

I guess I was wrong then. Cool

Appending the element might work, but it is even more unlikely to work
as supposed than writing the `meta' element with document.write().

Nothing guarantees that such content, iff it is generated, is re-parsed.
Even if there was a guarantee that the element was supported this way,
which there is not.

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

Then you would be out of luck. Why do you think you can't do that?

Why do you want to do this anyway?

Why should anybody waste time on your problem if you won't tell
us why you've decided that you can't use setTimeout()?
