Redirection of email form

Jun 11th, 2005

Having a little trouble getting this code to redirect after send has been clicked.

Just goes to a 404 error page, yet the email still sends, I want the user to know the email has been sent. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

CODE:

<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/mailer">
<table border="0" align="center" bgcolor="6883b0">
<tr>
<td><b><font color="#FFFFFF" size="-1">Your name:</font></b></td>
<td><input type="text" name="NAME" maxlength="35" size="37" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b><font color="#FFFFFF" size="-1">Your email:</font></b></td>
<td><input type="text" name="FROM" maxlength="35" size="37" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b><font color="#FFFFFF" size="-1">Your comments:</font></b></td>
<td><textarea name="COMMENTS" cols="29" rows="4"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Send">   <input type="reset" value="Erase"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="TO" value="stuartrhunter@hotmail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="SUBJECT" value="**HEYBYRNE.CO.UK - EMAIL**">
<input type="hidden" name="GOTOURL" value="http://www.heybyrne.co.uk/contact_confirm.htm">
</form></td>

Does your form mailer tell you to use <input type="hidden" name="GOTOURL" value="http://www.heybyrne.co.uk/contact_confirm.htm"> ? Or did the instructions come from another mailer?

The form mailer tells users to use <input type="hidden" name="GOTOURL" value="http://www.heybyrne.co.uk/contact_confirm.htm">

not other instructions were used.

Thought it would work first time but nope. If fields are left blank however the user is told about this, yet it wont redirect after send is activated.
