Dear Support,

On my client's web site, I'm using meta refresh with <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=javascript:window.open('home.asp?uuid=123','_top');"> and it works in every other browser except Firefox. Any ideas?

The web page where this code has been implemented is:

https://michelle-penaloza.squarespace.com/identifying-institutional-racism


Thank you for your time.

Amicably,

John M. Denooyer

Hi John, I don't see that in the page, actually.

And... why in a meta tag?

Have you tested something along these lines: 

<script type="text/javascript">
window.open('home.asp?uuid=123','_top');
</script>

I only see this div in the page source: 

<div class="hidden form-submission-html" data-submission-html="&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;0;url=/s/idir-folio-complete-2-28-06.pdf&quot;&gt;"></div>
