     <!--
     window.location="http://www.mydomain.co.uk";
     // -->
 </script>
    However it just adds the new url to the existing one so I get

    http://www.oldsite.co.uk/www.mydomain.co.uk

    also tried code below, with the same outcome

    Code:
    <head>
...head section stuff (Title, Description,etc.)...
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=www.mydomain.html">
</head>
    so the visitor gets Page Not Found.

    Is there a problem with my code or is it to do with the hosting of the old site.

    Thanks

    Try a full URL in the meta tag:

    Code:
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://webdesign.about.com">
    should do it, I think.

    Solved
    Changed the code to
    Code:
    <script language="javascript">
   function doRedirect() {
      setInterval("window.location.href='http://www.mydomain.co.uk'", 5000);
   }
   </script>
<script language="javascript">
doRedirect();
</script>
