Problem with page forward using a google doc form

I am using google docs spreadsheet as a form in my webpage. The problem I am having is that when someone visits the site and fills out the information on the form and hits the submit button, it doesn't advance to the next page. I've set the google forms in the property tab to "go to next page." Am I missing a step in this process? Or should it advance to the next page on my website sitemap. I'm using iweb and posting the sprout using html widget. Thanks for your help.

Hi Noel,

Can you make just the 'Submit' button a link to the next page? So that when they hit this button they are automatically linked to the next page?

I've added a second page and embedded the link. However, when I click on the second page it doesn't go to the link that is embedded. It says, "Now directing you...if nothing happens in 5 seconds, copy and paste the URL below into your web browser: How can I make sure that it goes to the next page and doesn't require someone to copy and paste into their browser. Thanks for your help.

Let me clarify my last post, the link that I have on my second page is not redirecting or launching a new window. It just loads a bubble with the text to copy, which is not ideal. I'm using iweb to post the sprout builder. Is this a limitation that is created because I'm using iweb?

Hello Noel,

Once you've created your web page with iWeb, where did you publish? .Mac, MySpace, your own website? I don't know what .Mac's policy is about external links from Flash widgets is, but for example, MySpace doesn't allow external links from Flash objects and in cases like that where the hosting site doesn't allow it we provide the copy and paste URL as a back up.
