Problems with Meta Tag for Netscape Timeout

[Linda Absher]

I want to blame my cold, or the fact that I've been overwhelmed with work,
but unfortunately, I can only state I've learned not to impulsively post
fix-its unless I'm *absolutely* sure they work.  I recently posted the
following meta tag: 

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="600";URL="http://your.home.url">

as a way of timing out a page so it returns to the homepage; however 
people have kindly pointed out problems with the tag.  As a result I ask 
that people hold off using the tag until I can figure out the problem.  I 
apologize if I've inconvenienced anyone in Web4Lib Land.

Mea culpa,

Linda Absher
