Pass url to open a window then refresh to a new pa

I’m looking for any help on passing a URL parameter to open a page then have that page refresh with the new passed URL.

The way this would be used is on a links page:

For instance, there is a link to CNN.com with the url http://www.cnn.com.
When you click on that link I would like it to open a new window saying something like, “X Company does not endorse, approve, certify, or control this external site and does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, efficiency, timeliness, or accurate sequencing of the information contained therein. You will automatically be redirected to your destination within 10 seconds. If you are not redirected, please click here.”

After about 10 seconds I would like it to refresh to the passed URL. I would also like the “please click here” link on that page to be active with the correct URL that was passed.

Any help would be grealy appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, this on your links page:

http://www.cnn.com

then on the cnn.html like this:

Blah blah blah blah

THat will show this page for 15 seconds and then go to cnn.com

Is this what you wanted?

Thanks for the input guys but as far as I can tell I’d still be required to create a separate file for every link. Ideally I would like some kind of ONCLICK function that would pass a URL to a single page. Something like:

onClick=RedirectLink(http://www.cnn.com);>

That would open a page in a new window that would dynamically forward me to the correct link based on a URL passed as a paramater.

Does this make any sense or I am high on crack?

Please help,

Yes, same as target=”_blank” but you need to redirect after the page thats says blah blah blah. The only way I can think to do that is to make seperate files for each link.

Would opening the new window in a framed page do? – similar to the following which opens an MSKB article with a Woody’s Watch header. You could add your own consistent disclaimer as the header frame and a single varying referred-to-page as the “main” frame.

Kinda like this:

http://www.thewolfmans.com/freemans%5B/url%5D
Click on the frames cnn.

But you still need another file.

See this thread and the thread to which it refers. Between them, you should be able to code this up with JavaScript, no sweat. With ASP or Perl or PHP, it’s probably easier.

Create the Following asp page:

< META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=” >

< a href="”>If you are not redirected, please click here.

Then, simply create your links with the RedirectURL QueryString, like this:
MSN.com

Had to put spaces after the to display here. (Just an FYI)

Ooops, just a quick addendum, you’ll want to use target=”_blank” in those links, but that was already mentioned.
