You can make it a variable, of course! I do this on some sites at work:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=<% = PAGE_URL %>">

P.S. That should work fine, however here is a sample script done in ASP that will do the same thing:

<%
' Get Start Time
StartTime = Timer()

'Get End Time
EndTime = Timer()

'Determine how long it took
WaitTime = EndTime - StartTime

'Continue checking the elapsed time until it reaches 5 seconds
do while WaitTime < 5
'Get End Time
EndTime = Timer()

'Determine how long it took
WaitTime = EndTime - StartTime
loop

'Redirect user, since we know that it has been more than 5 seconds
Response.Redirect "page2.asp"
%>

As you can see, generally it will be easier to use the HTML way.

what about Response.AddHeader "Refresh", "2;URL=mypage.htm" ??

They're all good.
