When creating forms that post I often redirect to another page after the POST
has been processed to avoid the "Your page contains postdata..." dialog when
people refresh or go back.

I am getting a blank page after submitting forms on this site.  Any suggestions
on how to better redirect the forms?

Reproducible: Always

Does the form work correctly in other browsers (IE, safari etc..)?

If you believe this is a bug in firefox then could you please provide more
details such as a link to the form that is not working as expected or attach the
code that you are using.

Thanks for the response.  Yes, all the forms on this site work in IE.
 
I have attached the code for the contact form.

hidform.submit(); is used, but hidform has not been defined. Also, note that the
html on that page misses several important tags

Not a mozilla bug, bug is in your code

use document.forms["hidform"].submit(); + fix the html

You might wanna check out JavaScript forums for futher help
