assigning to location.href breaks the history (the redirecting page is added to the history and pressing back will get you to the redir page and, voila, forward you again). annoying. try to use location.replace() whenever possible. somehow like: <script language=javascript> <!-- if ( !document.images ) // guard against pre js1.1 browsers window.location.href = '/with/js/'; else window.location.replace( '/with/js/' ); // --> </script> be aware also that having a redirecting start page will cause problems for some (most?) spiders and your site will never show up in the search engines. regards, stefan
