Made an online form using that simple HTML code. I wanted the results e-mailed to me when the user hits the "submit" button. I've tested it out, and all that shows up in an empty e-mail with my e-mail address in the "to" line.
Any help will be appreciated! I give out points!

Note to previous answerers: mailto most certainly can be invoked from Web forms.
It's a pretty dumb way to go about trying to send e-mail to yourself, since most people resent having programs started on their computers unexpectedly and not everyone will acually send the message, but it does work.
Please don't spread ignorance; if you don't know what you are talking about, remain silent.

The only suggestion I can give is to use the previous poster's form. But change the "Message" field to a type="textarea".
And possibly some minor formatting.
But I'd have to say that was the best answer.

As you found, mailto doesn't process form data. Go to http://www.hotscripts.com and search for "contact form" for code solutions.
