Redirecting from a Category Page

Hi,

I have recently created a second zen-cart store to sell items that were once in a category in an existing zen-cart store.

Currently, the (empty) category page in the old store links to the new store and displays a message saying that the items can now be purchased there.

Ideally, it would be nice if the browser would automatically redirect to the new store. But I can't figure out how to do this. Is it even possible?

Can anyone help? To clafiry - how to do a browser redirect from an empty category page to a separate website?

IF you are not rewriting your Zen Cart urls, the best way is through a redirect in your htaccess

redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.newsite.com/new.htm

Thanks for that. Actually, what I'd really like to do (but neglected to say) is have a delay before redirecting. So, I'd like the customer to see my page briefly before being redirected.

My category page url is:

http://mywebsite.co.uk/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2

As I don't have a unique HTML header for my page I'm not sure how to go about this. I don't think I can do it using .htaccess.....can I?

No, this can only be accompished with a Meta Refresh... which just for the record is not search engine friendly and will transfer no rank, indexing, authority or PageRank etc to the resulting page.
