How do I use HTML inside a JavaScript code?

Question

I want to change the page, I'm not sure if it is possible with JavaScript, so I tried with HTML, and it failed.

if (text=="home") {'<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="1;url=index.php">'; return;}

Any ideas on how to do this?

Yes, I had to wait about 18 minutes or whatever it was, in that time I forgot to come back and accept it. Do I always have to wait for these flood checks? — Anonymous the Great

you could add a setTimeout to delay it by a second as in the original example. setTimeout('window.location.href="http://www.google.com"', 1000)
