Russ's methods of WebMail location (I use all 4 of these to make sure that
every browser can catch it):
1 - if you have an ASP server, you can use a
<%response.redirect(http://mail.server.com:8383)%> at the top of the page,
before ANY HTML code
2 - use a META REFRESH tag set for 3 seconds
3 - use a BODY onLoad event
(onLoad="Javascript:window.location='http://mail.server.com:8383';")
4 - provide a link on the page to it
So, make a default.asp or default.htm with any 2 of the above (or more), put
it in a folder called "email", and give users that address - like
http://www.porosky.com/email for example. As far as I know, using all 4 of
these methods (or 3 if you don't have ASP) will work on nearly every
mainstream browser out there - netscape 2+, IE2+, Opera3+, NetPositive
(BeOS), Mozilla... it should, in fact, work with any Javascript 1.0
compliant browser.
Disclaimer: this works fine for me, i've had no complaints of it not
redirecting properly. i don't guarantee it will work for you however, so
feel free to muck around with it.
