I am on a linux box running PHP.
 So I guess the answer is either Javascript or PHP??

I had to do some research on this while hunting down some quirkiness
reported by some of our users, and I found that while supported across
the board (can I get a reality check here?), the syntax is quite
specific:

  <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1;
URL="http://fullURL.com/default.htm">

Notice the URL parameter *has* to be a fully qualified URL, per the
spec.

Now, as far as the /best/ way to move someone to the next page, I'd say
that depends on your needs. Whatchya working with?
