How do you get a web page to automatically connect to another location
as in "This web page has moved"?

The following will autoforward to the site specified in the URL=
variable of the second META tag, and not save the autoforward document
in the viewer's disk or memory cache. The zero indicates 0 seconds and
can be configured to a higher humber, especially if you want to display
text indicating that there is a new URL.

Not all older browsers will support this, but if you cannot do a
server-side redirect, this is the best you can do with HTML.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Blank Page</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.whatever.com/">
</HEAD>
</HTML>
