META for Automatic Page Forwarding

You can use a Javascript function to achieve the same task (without using the META TAG given above):

function TransferToURL(){
window.location.href="http://www.newurl.com"
}

which is called by an onLoad in the BODY tag:

<BODY onLoad="setTimeout('TransferToURL()',5000)">.
