Re: [epub] Re: Question about Hyperlinks not Working
Hi Nancy,

Try inserting a space between the semicolon and "url=" in the
refresh tag. If you've tested it and it works fine in Hotmail,
however, I don't really know what else to tell you other than
it might be a specific problem with a single end-user (old
browser version or some other problem).

An article I wrote on Ezine-Tips covers using meta-refreshes
to shorten affiliate links:
http://ezine-tips.com/articles/format/20000810.shtml

A script I really love for handling redirects is William
Bontrager's http://www.prolinkz.com/ . (I'm not affiliated with
the site in any way; just a big fan of William's script.) It
uses a CGI process rather than a refresh tag to accomplish the
redirect, so you may find that it functions more reliably.

Hope this helps,
