I am confused - are you developing in xhtml or wml? They are not the same.

WML does not support refreshing or redirects (client or server), but xhtml mobile profile supports it in the same way as (x)html
eg:
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="15; url=(http://www.example.com/new.html" />

(for the official docs, go here:
http://developer.openwave.com/omdt/x...AppendixA.html)

In WML you can do:
<onevent type="ontimer">
<go href="http://wap.teltest.com/"/>
</onevent>
<timer value="10"/>
Does that help?

I have tried the code you posted in my browesr, only changing the url to another site (http://www.clicksave.co.nz) and it works fine - after 5 seconds it redirects to the page/site specified in the meta tag.

What browser / device are you tryiong to get this to work in?

I'm so sorry... I've tried it on xhtml MP for the Nokia Mobile Browser Simulation... and for the 3650

May be this is the reason it doesn't work...

It does not work at all even on nokia 6600.

unfortunately it is not supported at all on any nokia device, it will work on your openwave emulator but not on the real handset...

Since Nokia XHTML Browser do not support the http-equiv attributes of meta tags,
I tried to achieve the same thing via HTTP-Header directives set by my JSP Page.
I need this for an animation, which was simply in WML by using the event handlers.

How I read the specifications the following Header Information should cause a redirect after 5 Seconds:

HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND
Retry-After: 5
Location: http://anyserver.com/nextpage

In fact the browser redirects to the new pages, but immediately - not after 5 seconds.

Since the 302 status code and the Location header field are part of HTTP/1.0,
but the Retry-After header field is new to HTTP/1.1, I wonder whether the Nokia XHTML browser only supports HTTP/1.0.

Does anyone know that exactly? Nokia?
