http://www.lookstare.com/Submit.html

<html>

<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" CONTENT="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>Search Engine Submission</title>

Your form is just going to open the user's mail client and create a new email for them to send, so in order to redirect you need to put a Javascript redirect or something in there, as there is no real script handling the data. Are you using a script to handle the form data.

Well the problem is you are using a Front Page web form but trying to use the mailto: tag this just aint gunna work.

this is how the form should start out.

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="--WEBBOT-SELF--">


then the rest of your form but of course this will only work if you are using Front Page extensions installed on your web site.
