JavaScript redirection can be done in 3 ways:

1) Alert Redirect:

<html>
<script>
alert("This page has been moved to a new location. **** OK to be redirected.");
location = "http://www.yoursite.com";
</script>
</html>

2) Confirm and Redirect:

Code: Select all

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

3) Stealth Redirect:

Code: Select all

<html>
<script>
location = "http://www.yoursite.com";
</script>
</html>

Yes, those are all ways to do it except for the alert no matter what they do they will be redirected. And secondly, you need to have:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">

instead of:

Code: Select all

<script>

And finally, it is best to not to use Javascript since there are quite a bit of users that disable Javascript.

if user is disabled JS, you can notice him by:

Code: Select all

<noscript>message for user when JavaScripts are disabled. HTML code is supported</noscript>

Yeah, but then only the USER knows....not you.

Plus, you should want to make your website work for everybody. That's what Google does.

I use PHP redirecting usually, just [php]<?php Header("Location: http://www.the.other/url/");?>[/php]

i guess it's the best way to redirect. but sometimes php is just not able to do that. so in this case JS will do the job
