how can i prevent direct access to subpage by typing address directly in browser and redirect user to index page?
Example: www.regreg.com/regreg/regreg.htm -> www.regreg.com
tnx

you'll need some serverside code and use sessions (assuming you want to eventually allow user to access that page).

bearing in mind that if this is a commercial site, visitor are very likely to leave if they cannot reach the page they wanted from a search engine.

This will not help me… anyway tnx

well, I'm not following entirely, but would a META refresh be in order?

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

Maybe explain exactly what you want to do in that case.

I think chrishirst is right on the money here. You will need some type of server side script to be able to distinguish between the people you want to view the page and people you don't want viewing the page. Maybe a PHP login script or even session with cookies could accomplish this really nice and easily.

Ok... what i won’t:
when user type directly in browser url www.kick.com/kick/kick.htm (../../kick.htm this page exist) automatically redirect to www.kick.com , or if they come from other pages (google,…, …) but if they come from root (www.kick.com) then nothing happened…thanks

PS:sry my english is bad

then it seems as though you need server side code to evaulate the HTTP_REFERER header and make your actions based on where they came from. however, keep in mind that this header is not always sent. another approach is to use some type of tracking variable sent over the URL

absolutely do not do this.

Visitors expect to land on the page they click in the SERP and they do not want to redirected to your "home" page only to have to renavigate to the page they wanted.

The only button most would be using would be either close or back

I agree with Chis. Why would you want to redirect people in this way? If I click a link to your site and the link doesn't take me to the page I want I leave. If I click a few times and it always takes me somwhere else I leave and never return.

thank you chrishirst for your advice a respect that but can I do that and how?
