As the page that is being loaded is the same document on the server a meta reload will be a bit of a pain. This is only needed for people that have old bookmarks or are getting to the site from an old search engine entry.
For a redirect to a different page I would always use the meta tags

: : The page I needed to load can be accessed 2 ways.
: : What I have found is the following
: : <script language="JavaScript">
: : </script>
: : This seems to do the job for me :))
: : Thanks for the comments.

: : : : What i want to do is:
: : : : If somebody comes to a page using a URL that does not contain the correect domain name.
: : : : I want them to be directed to my domain
: : : : eg
: : : : browser goes to www.foo.com/my-site
: : : : I would like the page to reload as
: : : : www.my-site.com
: : : : my domain is software hosted and has the same IP address as www.foo.com

: : : : Thanks

: Yeah, but what happens if your visitor doesn't have a JavaScript enabled browser? What would they see? For re-directs and mappings, I can't stress enough how important it is to use your server software to do this stuff for you.
