Hi

Is there anyway to get a meta refresh to do so in an new browser window?

e.g. This code forwards this user after 8 seconds...
<meta http-equiv=refresh
content=8;url=http://www.auction-air.com/index.html>

Is it possible to do so but in a new window, ideally one without focus
- i.e. a "pop under" but only do so after a number of seconds...

Or do we have to use javascript to do so?

P.S. BTW, what's the difference between alt.www.webmaster and
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html, anyone?

What's the difference between
- crossposting without Followup-To
- crossposting with Followup-To
- multiposting?

See http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/xpost.html for explanation.

it might in your browser, but thankfully mine is completely immune to such
trickery.

your victim must have client script enabled as well as disabling all
pop-stoppers.

one is for, by and about webmastering issues, the other is a forum for the
discussion HTML as it relates to authoring for the www. I'll leave it to
the reader to research which is which.

Welcome to Caves of HTML!

You are in a dark cave scattered about with fragments of HTML and
graphics. You think you saw a domain name go scuttling along the wall
where the light from the entrance just reaches. It's cold.

? Make pop-under

You can't do that now.

? Look

You see a bit of javascript on the floor of the cave, shivering in fear
while a meta refresh crawls over your shoe.

? Get meta refresh

You pick up the meta refresh. It feels slimy and somehow disconcerting.

? Make pop-under with meta refresh

You can't do that.

? Get Javascript

It squirms in your hands, trying to get free. You can tell it definitely
doesn't like you.

? Make pop-under with javascript

And item you are carrying prevents you from making a pop-under.

? I

You are carrying:
Meta refresh
Javascript
Common Sense

? Drop Common Sense

You now have no Common Sense

? Make pop-under with javascript

You make a pop-under! Unfortunately, you're just as in the dark as before.

Those role-playing games are starting to bleed over into
real life, Grey. Are you in need of an intervention?

Too long-winded. I am dyslexic.

Are you saying I *should* use "Followup-To:" if I cross-post.

LOL! Gosh, that brings it all back...

Can we visit the Tomb of the Unknown Web Designer, where the heads
of IE-Only "Programmers" are tastefully displayed on pointed sticks?

As with most things in the modern world, you have the answer just a click

Sure. Indeed, the Interactive Fiction (it sounds more grown up than 'Text
Adventure') community is gearing up for its biggest annual event, the
IFComp, so there'll be plenty of new games being released in the next
month or so. Check out:

It took a bit to figure out what this was. When I did, I, too, was
ROTFLMAO!

Then how are we to help you out? Must we avoid ever providing you
with www documents even when they provide the answers you need?

Yes. But you shouldn't cross-post in the first place unless there is
a *very* good reason to. The link above explains why. I'm not going
to explain any more than that.

I can't see the harm in discussing an issue with more than
one group of people if it affects both of them. Particularly
if the discussion is time-sensitive. Obviously both groups
it needs to be highly relevant to both groups, but it's much
better to cross-post than multi-post as your link agrees.
Also there are times when I particularly want to get
both sides of the arguement. e.g. Alt medicine crossposted
formal science/medicine.
