    Website Auto-Redirect

    I'm using the following code between the <Head> tags on one of my sites to re-direct the visitor to another site

    Code:
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
         <!--
         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

    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>

      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.
