redirect
Hello again,
I got a bit of a problem, I have to redirect a few urls to a new spot, I figured the meta redirect tag would work fine since it was supported since the early browsersaurs. But I found that it doesn't work in IE 5+ and probably every IE browser before that. So I went on to try using perl/cgi, only to find that my webserver doesn't use index.cgi as a default page, or default.cgi btw. So i figured I'd try .htaccess but I can't find a clear explination on how to implement it. I figure there is a simple format for .htaccess running under apache on unix so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
btw I need find out the entire structure since I haven't worked with .htaccess in ages.
Thanks again everyone! You people RULE!

Ken, try using the ReDirect in your htaccess file. It is something like this:
Redirect /directory http://www.yourothersite.com
Here is some more info.

Is that the only thing that will be in the .htaccess file? Or is there like header stuff I must put in there?
Do I just create a text file called .htaccess
and put this code
Redirect /transfer http://www.thisplace.com
and upload it to the transfer folder?
Sorry to be so lame, but I'm a bit high and can't really add 2 and 2 together.
Thanks man.

Yep, pretty much the same commands will work in htaccess.
