Solve : Automatic link to a new page?

Answer»

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me please. I manage an application that has links to various info pages. Another DEPARTMENT ALSO wants thier info pages linked . Because my application can only be pointed at one server I now have the dilemma of three sets of live information on different servers. My RESOLUTION was to make a link page on one server that I can "see" from within the application. If activated, this then automtically calls second server pages. I thought I would be able to do the same with the new server except it's not working for some reason and I get an invalid page message. below is the page I use that works

Any help appreciated

Also your tag is ended with , this too could cause issues.

I'd suggest instead of forwarding the pages the way you explained you're trying below if you need to get to three different pages maybe create a main page with three seperate frames, each containing a page of their own that automatically forward to the page you want. Doing this you could have one page that shows all three pages. Would something like that work?Also meta tags (like the automatic refresh) should not be inside the body, but in between and . Like this:




Please wait, you will be forwarded to the relevant page.
