RE: [WEB400] Redirecting requests

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JavaSscript redirecting is very simple... try it like so...

<Script language="JavaScript">
<!-- begin hide

function goElseWhere()
{
        var homePage = "http://myURL";
        window.location = homePage;
}
goElseWhere();

// end hide -->
</script>

I'd also like to point out that I may be wrong about the redirect command,
but with so many domain names and such your set up is far more complicated
than mine...
