how to do this: adding an image then go to index

I saw this on www. marktucker.com
when you go to the url, an image comes up for about 10 seconds then takes you to his index page.

Anyone know how this is done?

thanks

If you View Source on that front page, it looks like he's using a meta tag to initiate a sort of redirect command ("refresh").

Actually, all they did was they made the image a link. The page w/ the image is the index.html file, the page it goes to when you click the link/picture is index2.html.

So all you would do is change your main content page to index2.html, then create an index.html file w/ this in the code:

<a href="index2.html"><img src="whatever.jpg"></a>

Replacing the "whatever" as fit.

Yes, there's an image link, but the page switches even if you don't click the image; just wait 10 seconds or so.

I would assume he made the image a link in case someone was using a browser/had setting where the auto-switch failed.

thanks all.

I see that link and think I can pull that off. Now I'm trying to fgure out how he did the auto switch after the delay.

Would that be the jave script i see in his source code?

Thanks,

No, it's just the meta tag that's inserted between the "head" tags. I inserted one into a quick and dirty test page and set it for 5 seconds and it seems to work fine.

so you want

 <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; URL=http://your-domain-name/your-redirected-page-location.html">

ah, i guess i was too impatient to wait
