If you can use PHP, PHP.net has their source available for download. It looks nice and stuff. But the .htaccess looks like your best bet.

.htaccess solves this problem nicely.

RedirectPermanent /holiday <a href="http://www.invitationsathome.com/holiday.htm" class="bb-url">http://www.invitationsathome.com/holiday.htm</a>

If you have the directory in place, you can still use .htaccess, by putting the same information in the .htaccess file.

Of course, you could also just make an index.html file and put it in the /holiday/ folder instead of holiday.htm in the root folder, which would make sense and avoid all this mucking around.

It is always said that the dumbest question is the one not asked.

There are several ways to do it. The easiest is to create a directory called holiday inside your webroot. In that directory have a index.htm file. In that index.htm file, add this to the head section of the html:

This basically sends a redirect to redirect the page. You could also use some rewrite rules inside a .htaccess file but it would be much more difficult.
