Redirect to another site??

[patp1971]

I'm not very good at the back end of web design, so here is the question. We have a contractor who will keep a whole motors database on his site but we want people to come to it from our site, without them being ticked that they are being directed to another site.

We were thinking that if our site were www.anyplace.org and we added a subdirectory to www.anyplace.org/motors we could have it automatically go to their site.

Is this possible? Is it a script?

Thank you for any ideas.

This?

<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.anyplace.org/motors">

It goes into your index of anyplace.org

another way would be to use a server-side scripting language.

I would say php.

using:

<?php

//index.php
header("Location: urltofile.htm");
exit();

?>

the transition is totally seamless. you won't hear the 'tick' sound (hey.my comps produces that sound) like in a meta redirect. you won't even see the page, just the new url

Ignore this.
