my form doesen't work right

I made a form but it doesn't send to my email; instead, it opens Windows Live Mail.

Here is my code:

<form name="name" action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post">

What can I do to make the form send to my email instead of opening Windows Live Mail?

Your code IS good. Your code does exactly what it is supposed to do. When you submit a form with action attribute involving a mailto:, it opens up your email program to send an email to the [email protected] address.

If you want the form to not send the email using the system's default mail program, you need to use something server-side. I don't know of any client side solutions, but who knows. There might be something out there...
