    How to redirect webpage via CSS?

    I posted this code into a htm. file and I added on my website so i can redirect that page every time somebody access it .

    Now can anybody tell me what code should I put into the "lutu1.css" file so I can get the redirection of my page for example to www. google. com

    Code:
    <P>
  <STRONG>
    <head>
      <link type="text/css" href="http://mydomainname.com/pic1/lutu1.css" media="all"
rel="stylesheet">
    </head>

      You can use the HtttpServerUtil ity.Transfer method to halt the code running on the current web page and request that a different web page or web site (as you said, www.google.com) carry on the processing.

      But my question is, why you chose a CSS file to do this thing?

          Davincourtney,

          This HTML code is completely invalid.
          You cannot have a <P> element or a <Strong> tag in/around the <head> section. These tags can only be used in the <body> section of the HTML.

          This isn't even a CSS related question...I don't even think your page will work with this because it is so invalid.

          What are you trying to do?

              I think he is trying to redirect his webpage to google via CSS. Or he could just be trying to link to google.

              I don't think that's possible.

              If you want to redirect via HTML you have to put the following code at the top inbetween <head> </head>
              Code:
              <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">
              If you want to link to website like google you have to use the code below. The url inside the href=" " is the destination webpage.

              Code:
              <a href="http://www.google.com">going to google now</a>

                  Ahh, that does make more sense.

                  Please note that CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheets". This is used for setting the style for HTML elements on the page (for example you can set the background-color property using CSS). You cannot use CSS to redirect to another web page.

                  If you want to redirect, you can use the HTML code that Kub has posted. Or you can do this server side as sanjib65 suggested.

                  You could use the Server.Transfer () method but only if you are "transferri ng" the user from web page in your website to another web page in your website.

                  If you are trying to redirect the user to a webpage/website that is out side of your website/server then you need to use the Server.Redirect () method.

                      Well, in Apache, it's one line in the htaccess file.

                      You can add a link with CSS but what a user would still have to click it.
