redirecting a site
I'm having problems with a site direct script. It works, but not the way I'd like. Here's the address:
http://members.xoom.com/songslinger/fishing.html
What's supposed to happen is the viewer is taken to the new location on a different host. But the Xoombar banner follows and haunts the new site and subsequent links. I'd like to get rid of the damn thing without having my clients go through some convoluted right-click-and-new-window shuffle.

You can always use the META tag redirect:

Yes, thanks,I've tried that. I discovered that the script I was using was only a little gimmick to show the seconds ticking away until the site was redirected. I already had the meta tag in place. I've gotten rid of the script. The problem remains, however. I've contacted the original web host (Xoom, God help me!) and maybe something will come of that. But if anyone out there knows a simple way to keep the bar from following to the next site, please let me kmnow. Much obliged.

webslinger: Don't know if that's possible...I'd just recommend a quick "We've Moved!" link that's set to open in a new window...

just use:
<script>
top.location.href="thepage.html"
</script>
to make it do it in 15 seconds, use:
<script>
setTimeout("top.location.href='thepage.html'",15000)
</script>
