Mike,

Try changing

<img src="accent10x10.GIF" border="0">

to

<img src="/accent10x10.GIF" border="0">

If you leave off the / at the beginning, the path will be relative from the
current url, which turns into /cgi-bin/accent10x10.GIF (which does not
exist).

The way I discovered the redirect issue was using the Browser's network
tab. This tab shows all requests to the server, whether its to load HTML,
AJAX, javascript, css, etc. I prefer Firefox when debugging w/ the network
tab because it does a better job at showing when redirects take place (the
original request will show a 301 status and a new request will show up),
and it also does better at preserving form data after redirects.

1) Open firefox
2) Navigate to your page
3) Right click somewhere on page and click "Inspect Element"
4) Click the "Network" tab
5) Check "Persist Logs"
6) Submit form or reload page to see network requests populate
7) Select network request to view more details such as url, form data,
headers, response, etc.

Hope this helps. I attached a screenshot to show an example.

Best Regards,
Christopher Mevissen
