How do I pre-load my page easily?

This is my current code for the Pre-Loading Page:

<body onContextmenu="return false">
<head>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="https://2img.net/h/oi48.tinypic.com/2e5o6sk.png">
</head>
<div style="text-align: center;">
 
 
</div>

<title>F.E.A.R|L4DI :: A L4D Philippine Clan</title>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</center>

<style type="text/css">

background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center top;
background-color: #000000 }
</style>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="3; URL=http://fearl4di.findtalk.biz/forum.htm">

Basically what it does is that when you go that page, the page will wait for 5 seconds and will go to the main forums, but it doesn't do any pre-loading... So, maybe someone can help me with this? Thanks! cheers

So you want your site to be loading while this page is shown?

There are so many errors in your code, I'm amazed the page even loads. fufufu

First, try putting HEAD before BODY, not inside BODY. king

Second, try putting all the display code inside BODY. bounce

Third, read up on how to use the META tag. salut

Declare your Doctype as well.

I think putting codes in any order doesn't change how the page loads, anyway I'll try maybe it'll work.

There's so many trials and errors before I made this page stable and running, took me about 3 hours(yeah I'm a noob Razz

)

@KingOfSports
Yeah

Yeah they do matter.

Code:: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> </body> </html>

Use that format straight up from Dreamweaver.

Excuse me but can I ask what does it do? Razz

It is a format. The proper format for HTML files/pages. So just fill in the information and you should have no problem loading the pages.

Hi,

It is essential that you always have your tags in the right order otherwise the html will not display.

I have edited your code, it works now..
