Feedback Form Returns/Points to Wrong Page

I've created a Comments/Feedback form on a test Tripod
site (http://ccgagc.tripod.com/Comments.htm).

The form itself works fine, but after submission the user
is sent to an automatically generated "confirmation" form
in the _vti_bin folder. The "confirmation" form has a
link marked "Return to the form" but rather than point to
the form at http://ccgagc.tripod.com/Comments.htm the
link points to
http://ccgagc.tripod.com/ccgagc/Comments.htm

Is there any way to get this "confirmation" form to point
directly to the Comments.htm page and not to some non-
existant sub-directory (there is no /ccgagc folder)?

This same solution will determine whether I require
validation on the form (such as requiring a name) since
the error form that is automatically generated contains a
similar link to "return" to the form, but points to
http://ccgagc.tripod.com/ccgagc/Comments.htm rather than
to http://ccgagc.tripod.com/Comments.htm

Thanks in advance for the assist.

Create a custom confirmation page or contact Tripod at the is based on how they have the extensions
configured on their servers.

Don't use the error page, instead use the Form Field Validation function, which will popup a dialog
if a field doesn't meet the validation requirements.
