    Just use HTML files with META redirects in each one...

    HTML Code:
    <html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.website.com">
  </head> 
</html>
    ^ Replace "website.com" with the actual URL you want to redirect to.

      Are you sure you're saving them as HTML files? If you do, they should open in your browser (unless you at some point in the past specified Dreamweaver or Word to be the default program to open HTML files). For most people though, HTML files will open in their browser by default.

      Right click the file and at the bottom select properties. Look at where it says Filetype: it should show something like (.html) or (.htm) if it doesn't you need to resave the file as filename.html. But if it says .html or .htm you'll probably see that under Open with: you have either dreamweaver or word, press the Change button next to it and select your browser.

    Can you copy and paste the line you used for this, what did you replace it with

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.website.com">

    Type this snippet of JavaScript code inside each page, substituting your desired location.


    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript"> window.location = "http://www.google.com/" </script>

      ^ IE blocks local Javascript from running by default, so IE users would have to know to click the "allow blocked content" button for that to work.

      Using a regular HTML meta redirect is the simplest solution.

        Hello Brandon. Thanks for your help, what you say is completely correct and I found a workaround to tell IE the content is safe.

        I'm updating the code, I tested it on IE10 on Win7 and it works like a charm.

        Code:
        <!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->

<script type="text/javascript"> window.location = "http://www.google.com/" </script>

          I didn't know about that little trick. That's pretty cool.
