Look at yahoo.com.......in HTML, look up 'meta refresh'.....or with JS look

Keep in mind that search engines generally do not follow meta refresh and
Javascript redirection, and may exclude portions of your site from their index.
It is good practice to provide a regular link also in case the refresh does not
work for some reason.
However, that does not mean that every instance of a computed link and
every instance of a meta refresh must be paralleled with a corresponding
plain link.
It should be enough to link all your pages in a chain, and to have an
outside link to the first page; or link in a ring, with an outside link
to one page; or an externally-linked index page linking to all the rest.
With a bit of programming, this can be automated for authoring time.
