Redirect problem with formmail.pl


[link to this post]
 
Hello All,
Im having a spot of trouble with formmail.pl, It seams to be browser related, but im not ruling out other possibilities. The problem im having is as follows:

after creating a webpage with the following form data: (yes its not all there just the important inputs and yes iv replaced the real email address)

<form method="post" action="/cgi/formmail.pl">1
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="70"></textarea>
<input name="email" size="50">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit Feedback" />

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/" />
<input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient" value="[email protected]">
</form>

I get the following results:
Firefox: I get the html code displayed in the browser for the redirect, and the email is successfuly sent

Safari: I get a warning telling me Safari can

That's a requirement in XHTML

Santos: We'd probably need to see the formmail.pl script to have any idea what the problem might be

Yeah but presumably needs to be consistent? Guess it's a red herring and not the OP's problem anyway.

HI thanks for the responces, It turned out to be a combination of file/browse permissions.
