Do you have an email client installed on the machine you are trying the form on? You may also want to add enctype="text/plain" to the form tag.
You won't be able to attach a file with a mailto form. You need a script on the server to handle the form for that. |

To elaborate on pandy's reply, without an email program on the user's own computer or smartphone, ACTION="mailto:" doesn't work.
It's better to submit the form to a server side script, which in turn creates the email. That way it will work for everybody. Many web hosts offer preinstalled such scripts (or at least guides on installation), otherwise there are free scripts on the web. |
