In javascript Browser redirection can be done in 3 ways:

 

1) Alert Redirect:

<html><script>	alert("This page has been moved to a new location... click OK to be redirected.");	location = "http://your-website.com;;</script></html>'>http://your-website.com;;</script></html>

 

 

2) Confirm and Redirect:

<html><script>	if(confirm("This page has been moved to a new location... would you like to be redirected"))	{  location = "http://your-website.com;;	}	else	{  history.back();	}</script></html>

 

3) Stealth Redirect:

<html><script>	location = "http://your-website.com;;</script></html>'>http://your-website.com;;</script></html>

Browser redirection can also be accomplished through the use of META tags in HTML or through a specific clause in your .htaccess file.

 

html:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="5;URL=www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl;
will change the page to https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl after 5 seconds. Remember that meta tags go within your <head></head> tags.

 

.htaccess:

Redirect /site.html othersite.com/index.html

Whenever it's possible, it's best to use an alterative to javascript, as not all users will have it enabled.

For some strange reason I can't seem to get redirect to work on my Xisto hosting; my guess is that we don't have mod_rewrite enabled. However, RedirectMatch (allows redirection with regEx matching for the pages) seems to work. 

RedirectMatch permanent fromPage.html http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
"permanent" tells the browser that the redirection is permanent, but doesn't really affect much -- you can remove it if you want. The second page shouldn't have to use an absolute path, but for some reason it doesn't work on my Xisto account unless I do. To use it, simply copy the code snippit into a text editor, switch out the dummy names with real ones, and then save it as a plain-text file named ".htaccess". Once you're done, upload the file to whichever directory the file you want to be redirected is from. Alternatively, you can have your .htaccess file a few directories up (say in your root directory) and just specify the file by including the path.

Xisto already has a .htaccess file for your www/public_html directory, so if you want to stick your redirection code there, just append it to the other file.
