I keep getting a 404 error. I have created a form. This form is to redirect (after hitting the submit button) to another page letting the user know they need to go back. I am trying to redirect to the c12case1b.html file but am apparently putting in the wrong extension? They are on the server I am using but keep getting a 404 error. Here is all three files...
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/~zach3327/cgi-bin/c12case1.cgi"> Phoenix Industries:<br> <name="phoenix industries"> <br> Name:<br> <input type="text" name="name" value=> <br> Address:<br> <input type="text" name="address" value=> <br> City:<br> <input type="text" name="city" value=> <br> State:<br> <input type="text" name="state" value=> <br> ZIP code:<br> <input type="text" name="zip code" value=> <br> <br><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <input type="reset" value="Reset" +> </form> </body> </html>
<HEAD><TITLE>Phoenix Industries</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <H1 ALIGN=center>Phoenix Industries<HR> Please press your browser’s back button to return to the form +. Then complete all items
