Question

Answer 1

A:

The meta refresh method redirects the current page - it cannot be used to open new windows. For that, you'll need javascript window.open

And setTimeout to delay it by 2 seconds:

Answer 2

A:

According to w3schools, target is not an attribute of the meta tag. If you want something like this, you should use javascript.

Answer 3

A:

The <meta> tag does not have a target attribute, so you can't use it to trigger a new browser window.

Answer 4

A:

If it's not working then it's probably because the meta tag doesn't accept the target attribute. You could try doing this with javascript:

<body onload="window.open(...);">

Answer 5

A:

It looks like there are two problems. First, the second http-equiv="refresh" will have no effect, because the page will already have refreshed the first time. If you wanted to refresh again, you'd have to put the second http-equiv="refresh" in the second page. Second problem, http-equiv="refresh" isn't meant to open new windows. You'll have to use Javascript (window.onload) for that, but be careful -- you'll run into popup blocker problems.

Basically you'll want:

First page loads, opens popup player window.
After, you forward to start.php (or you could just merge your first page with start.php, open the player window, and stay where you are at).
