Use the HTML <META ...> tag?
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=/myapp/do/myaction">
</HEAD>
<BODY></BODY>
</HTML>
Or, alternatively if you want to use window.onLoad - checkout the source on
IE's error page that does this pretty effectively by extracting the server
information from document.location.href - full source attached below (you'll
need to identify the appropriate bits):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<html>
<head>
<style>
a:link {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:red}
a:visited {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:#4e4e4e}
</style>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text-html; charset=Windows-1252">
<title>HTTP 404 Not Found</title>
</head>
<script>
function Homepage(){
// in real bits, urls get returned to our script like this:
// res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#http://www.DocURL.com/bar.htm
//For testing use DocURL =
"res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#https://www.microsoft.com/bar.htm";
DocURL = document.location.href;
//this is where the http or https will be, as found by searching for ://
but skipping the res://
protocolIndex=DocURL.indexOf("://",4);
//this finds the ending slash for the domain server
serverIndex=DocURL.indexOf("/",protocolIndex + 3);
//for the href, we need a valid URL to the domain. We search for the #
symbol to find the begining
//of the true URL, and add 1 to skip it - this is the BeginURL value. We
use serverIndex as the end marker.
//urlresult=DocURL.substring(protocolIndex - 4,serverIndex);
BeginURL=DocURL.indexOf("#",1) + 1;
if (protocolIndex - BeginURL > 7)
urlresult=""
urlresult=DocURL.substring(BeginURL,serverIndex);
//for display, we need to skip after http://, and go to the next slash
displayresult=DocURL.substring(protocolIndex + 3 ,serverIndex);
// Security precaution: must filter out "urlResult" and "displayresult"
forbiddenChars = new RegExp("[<>\'\"]", "g"); // Global search/replace
urlresult = urlresult.replace(forbiddenChars, "");
displayresult = displayresult.replace(forbiddenChars, "");
document.write('<A target=_top HREF="' + urlresult + '">' + displayresult +
"</a>");
}
