okay, I got a problem

Website in Question: http://alliancefinancialgroupstl.com

Task: Site owner has relationship with another site (http://www.path2plenty.com) where she can sign people up for their Path2Plenty affiliate program. She has a member code, which actually lead to specific member page at the path2plenty site where you can sign up for the affiliate program. She wants a form for two reasons (1)you only have to remember one url (2)you can use her site as a jumpoff point to enter other path2plenty affiliate sites by entering the last 4-6 digits of the url address.

When you enter this site's member number (6057AL) and it should take you to their path2plenty page.

Problem is, it works fine in Opera 7+, but stalls in Internet Explorer. This is a serious problem.

I need help. Maybe I can help someone else solve a problem in exchange for tackling this one. Feel free to "view source" to see the script in question as it sits on my site.

Here's what I found:

The form uses a form validator created by FrontPage and tries to send the page to a .cgi script and passes the form-field values in the url when submit is pressed. Since the FrontPage stuff isn't needed (the textfield is checked in website()), I suggest you delete it.
Remove the onsubmit and language stuff from the form-tag. Make the button a type="button" instead of submit to be really sure that no field-values will be passed in the url.

like this:

<FORM name="FrontPage_Form1">
<p align="center" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" left="left">
<INPUT type="hidden" NAME="the_url1" VALUE="http://www.path2plenty.com/cgi-bin/info.cgi/">
<INPUT type="text" name="the_url2" size="6" maxlength="6">
&nbsp;&nbsp;
<INPUT name="Submit" type="button" onClick=website() value="Go!">

this should work in any browser. I'm surprised that it worked in Opera, but maybe they ignore FrontPage extensions..
