Redirect
Sometimes you may visit a web site or web page which is no longer being used. However the web designer may still want you to be able to find you way to their new site.
In order to do this, they might add a 'Redirect' to the page. If a 'redirect' is present on a web page you will normally get a message which says something like, 'you should be taken to the correct page within 10 seconds, if not then click this link'.
This is done by using a special piece of web code which instructs the browser and tells it what to do.
