Scott,

Here's an example using php:

Page one is straight HTML: http://billhorne.homelinux.org/scott.html

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Scott Erlich's redirect form</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<body>
<form name="scott" action="scott.php" method=post>
<input type="text" name="url" size="50">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Page two uses php: http://billhorne.homelinux.org/scott.php

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Scott's Redirect</TITLE>
<META name="description" content="Scott's Redirected Site">
<META name="keywords" content="Scott,Erlich">
</HEAD>
<?php
$url = stripslashes($_POST["url"]);
?>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
<frame src="<?php echo $url ?>" frameborder="0">
<frame frameborder="0" noresize>
</frameset>
</html>

HTH.
