Hi,

My CGI-program, created with C++, responds to a
user input-form, creating a dynamically modified
HTML-page, which is shown correctly in the webbrowser.
This all works as expected.

However, lately I tried to add to this HTML-page a (static)
user-selectable URL, as a means to redirect to another
location (e.g. www.borland.com);  when used from the
web-browser the redirection is incorrect; it seems
to try to access an executable in the CGI-server-
-directory instead.

I did not manage to find the correct tag to use
for this case. I tried some variations of "href='.

Any advice whould be nice.
