Just a quick question regarding this issue.

Considering bruce wants to be able to display the data and then change
location after a given time, and as stut said you can't do this with a
header() as it redirects before output, I would have imagined a dynamic meta
tag in the header with a time variable and a location variable.

But then I wonder what affect this has regards to html standards? 
Are dynamic meta tags depreciated?

Regards,
Tim
