Redirecting Recipients of Outdated Forms to Your Website

If you've published a link to a Oracle Responsys form, but now prefer to redirect respondents to your website instead of having them submit the form, you can edit the form document to include a meta tag that causes the page to refresh and redirect to the desired URL.

  • Redirect Code – place this tag somewhere between the <head> and </head> tags.

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="seconds;URL=URL">

    • Seconds – number of seconds tells the browser how long to pause before refreshing the page.
    • URL – specified URL tells the browser what page to load during the refresh

You should probably change the body of the document as well. Example:

	<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15;URL=http://www.example.com">
</head>
<body>
<p>Within 15 seconds you will be redirected to the Example.com website.</p>
<p>Please <a href="http://www.example.com">click here</a> if Example.com doesn't load automatically.</p>
</body>
</html>

Note: Be sure to include a clickable link to the redirect page to accommodate browsers that don't refresh properly.
