I guess it is disabled(i.e. META REFRESH is turned off) if security settings are set to high.

Hm,
Hi seem to have the option enabled in my security settings yet IE7 does not redirect the page.

Must be doing something wrong in my html then.

Any ideas? :)

Thanks for finding this. It has indeed caused quite some annoyance for the end users as it breaks a lot of sites. A prompt would have been nicer than implicitly denying the redirect, but given the backlash to Vista’s constant prompting, I’m sure Microsoft was avoiding trying to make more. Oh well, another version leads to another work around.

Gee, thanks Microsoft. Would have been nice if there was a “prompt” option along the lines of “This website is trying to redirect you to xxx. Do you want to allow this?”

Thanks very much for finding & explaining this, I was going crazy wondering why my website “stopped” working!
