The homepage gets stuck in an refresh loop in some browsers (i.e. IE9). You've missed the 'url=' directive in the attribute: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;http://scrib.in/abc123" /> Use this instead: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://scrib.in/abc123" /> Or, better yet, just set 'document.location' (adds history item) or use 'document.location.replace()' (no history item) in script.
