Client-Side Redirects Using HTTP-EQUIV="refresh"
(Page 2 of 2)
This page has been constructed as the second part of a test of user
control over user agents' handling of automatic redirection when the
following markup is used:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh"
CONTENT="N;URL=http://www.foo.com/foo.html">
where "N" represents a discrete time interval in seconds. The
page which refered your user agent to this page, was set to do so 60
seconds after the user agent completed rendering the first page.
This document is part of a suite of pages designed to test the
implementation of the W3C's User Agent
Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG). In particular, this page is
designed to test implementation of UAAG checkpoint
3.6:
-
3.6 Allow
configuration so that a "client-side redirect" (i.e., one initiated
by the user agent, not the server) does not change
content except on explicit
user request. Allow the user to access the new content on demand
(e.g., by following a link or confirming a prompt). The user agent is not
required to provide these functionalities for client-side redirects that occur
instantaneously (i.e., when there is no delay before the new content is
retrieved). [Priority 2] Content only.

possible. Be sure to include the following information when you report
your observations to the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working
Group:
- operating system (including version/revision number)
- assistive technology, if any (please include version number)
- user agent name and version (e.g. MSIE, version 5.00.2920.0000 update versions ;q254902)
- any special settings (i.e.
any changes you or your adaptive equipment made to your user agent's
default configuration)
- a description of what happened after you loaded the page (i.e. "Redirected to second page after
60 seconds."; "Page did not automatically redirect, but user agent
notified me of the time interval and provided the URL of the second page";
"Nothing happened and I had no means of loading page 2.")
