it IS a redirection. i am not a programmer but i am not that tech dumb, thank you. Maybe you should start taking time to read and try to understand what people are saying instead of shouting your mind off which just makes you look bad.
Anyway for the others, i did a workaround. I cleared the existing page of the code since i dont need it anymore and just put in a line
<a href="http://www.xxx.com/yyyy target="_blank">Click here to continue</a>
if i cant seem to do an auto redirect, i just have to get users to click on the link to move onto the new page.
thanks Belisarius and sde for their comments!
