Hello all--

I'm using Matt's Formmail and redirecting people to a thank-you page after
they submit the form.  The form is submitting the way it's supposed to but
people aren't redirected to the thank-you page--they get an error 404.  The
page exists--if you go directly to the URL I'm redirecting everyone to, the
page shows up fine.  The host (Valueweb) has no idea.  I've checked the Web
site for Formmail, which tells me I'm doing things right.

The code for the form submission:

<.form name="form" method="POST" action="../cgi-bin/mailform"
onSubmit="return validateForm(this)">
<.input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="laura(at)eventdesignstudio.com">
<.input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Wedding Proposal Response
Form">
<.input type="hidden" name="redirect"
value="http://www.eventdesignstudio.com/html/tywedding.html">

Test pages:
http://www.visionsites.net/html/eds/html/formwedding.html

which should redirect to
http://www.visionsites.net/html/eds/html/tywedding.html

Thanks as always!

Debbie
