I'm not sure if this would work, but perhaps include the <meta> redirect
inside a <noscript> block. I haven't tested this, though!

I always try to write websites using progressive enhancement -- but a
recent project I'm working on requires quite a bit of AJAX DOM

changes to MooTools so that a browser as old as IE5.5 can run the
site, but I haven't figured out a good way to deal with visitors who
have javascript disabled, and I'm also really concerned with visitors
who use a screen reader -- even if they use it in a browser with
javascript enabled.
I need a way of getting non-javascript visitors to a different page. I
tried inserting a<meta> redirect tag in the head, and disabling it in
javascript with window.stop() and document.execCommand('Stop') (for
IE). That works great in all versions of Firefox, Webkit and IE, but
it doesn't seem to be stopping Opera from redirecting. I've also tried
removing the tag, but I think once the timer starts, it can't be
stopped.
Is this a dumb way of redirecting?
