Currently I have the need to set up a website such that when a person opens www.website.com it takes them to www.website.com/main/index.shtml . The same kind of phenominon can be viewed if you try to go to www.wikipedia.com. When the page loads it instantly redirects you to www.wikipedia.org. I'd like to be able to set up something similar but I cannot see the source code on wikipedia.com since the moment I try to load it the page redirects me to wikipedia.org

with wikipedia they own both domains, so redirection from .com to .org is a doddle. without owning both it's not possible.
anyways, to redirect from one page to another, see this:

there are a number of ways to redirect a page on loading...

If you wish to depend on your page viewer's having javascript enabled, then you could code the entire text of the page as:
where "otherpage" is the name of the place to which you want to redirect the page viewer

yes using a header re-diret. It is absolutely horrible for SEO, and is not recommended unless must
content =0 allows for a delay in re-direct eg. 1,2,3,4....etc
don't use javascript incase the user has disabled it, security warnings could also go off, do it in the meta

Try this website... It has code, although I have not tried it.

If you're programming in .net, you can use Page.Redirect.
