I am wondering what the difference is in the way DNN handles these two methods of getting to the home page:

Method 1:   redirect using a <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx" /> tag

Method 2:   redirect using a hyperlink in a text/html module like this Skip Intro / Enter Site generated with this code: 
                     <A href="/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx">Skip Intro / Enter Site</A>

The reaction I get from my browser (IE7) is that the link actually takes me to the home page. The meta refresh tag takes me to the splash page over and over again. The splash page is set up in the Site Settings page.

Why?

I want the splash page to display when a user first enters the site and then when it is finished playing, go to the Home page. The actual site is www.trekexpress.org. Check it out and tell me what I am doing wrong.

It works in firefox, and is rendered correctly in the page's source, so I don't think DNN has anything to do with IE7 not obeying the tag.  My first thought is that you should be using a semicolon instead of a comma in between the time and the URL, ("10;/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx" instead of "10, /Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx").

Hope it helps!

Thanks for pointing me back to review the tag.

Actually, getting the syntax correct is essential!

The correct tag is <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; url=/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx" />!

Duh!
