you're probably writing it correctly. It just sounds like you have outlook set as your default email client. The mailto tag will open whatever default mail client the user has it set to. You might want to look at any possible difference the way different browser reads that tag though. Different browser may give unexpected results, such as netscape compared to IE or others.

If you're trying to send a form's contents by email directly from the web site then this has to be done with server side scripting. It depends on your web host which is in use. I have a feeling this is probably much more complex than you think. Apparently you're not a very experienced web site programmer so you may need to learn a lot to do what you intend by yourself.
One way I often use is to create a regular html form that is posted to a php script. The script takes the form data and creates the email file with it and then calls a program to send the email (like sendmail).

You are probably doing it correctly, if the Outlook window opens.
Anyway, here is the code for inserting a mailto link in the form.
Write to Me
The default mail program window opens with the yourname@youremailaddress.com email address in the To field when anyone clicks the Write to Me link.
