Using meta refresh for tracking pixel

Here is my code:

<html>
<head>
<title> No title</title>
<META
HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT=".5; URL=out.php">
<meta name="generator" content="Namo WebEditor(Trial)">
</head>
<body>
<img height="1" width="1" border="0" style="display: none;" src="http://download-4-free.com/tracking202/static/gpx.php?amount=.4" />
</body>
</html>

I'm trying to figure out how many tenths of a second I can put in the CONTENT=".5; area to leave enough time for my tracking pixel to load.

Also I need to know if I put the meta refresh code and tracking pixel in the correct spots and if everything else looks ok.
Is there supposed to be a space at the end of the code?
?amount=.4" />

    Why not just refresh with javascript instead of meta? Then you don't need to guess is your pixel loaded or not, it'll refresh when everything's loaded.

    <body onload="javascript:document.location.href='out.php ';">

      So this would work then right?

    Your tracking pixel doesn't have to 'load', there is nothing really to load. As soon as the browser makes the request to the image source address, the damage is done. You can redirect immediately.
