html form

Hiya im not sure why im using this <form action="mailto:your email address" method="get" enctype="text/plain"> for my html form, but when i submit, it always opens up my windows mail instead of sending it from the form, any idea??

Mailto does always open the user's default email program with the given parameters. To actually send the mail, you need a server side script, written in PHP/ASP/etc... You can find lots of these here ion Hotscripts.
