Okay my padawan *hehe* asked me if you needed any javascript to go with the charset meta... so i of course said dont be thick.. why would you think that.

and then he directed me to the W3Schools tutorial for meta refresh.
http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/pro..._httpequiv.asp

with the well this meta needs it...

Why the hell have they got javascript on this?! it works fine without it as far as i know.

Can anyone tell me whats the point in this, because i am assuming there must be SOME reason.

Dan
