HTML form sheets submit button?

Question

I am making a submit button for a website. I have gone over the thing like twenty times, but it still wont send the form directly from the site. Every time i hit the submit button, outlook opens up with an email that contains the information. Here it is the code with the )( instead of the ><.
                    (td)(font
 face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2")  (input
 name="Submit" value="Enviar" type="submit") (/font)(/td)
                  (/tr)
                (/tbody)
              (/table)
            (/form)
Here it is the form code just in case you need it.

            (form name="form1"
 action="mailto:ruah_grupo@hotmail.com" method="post"
 enctype="text/plain")

They have names, but no other attributes that correspond to the names... I dont know why the form doesnt get sent from the button. PLEASE HELP

The issue is in the 'action' attribute in your 'form' tag. You can't submit a form to email directly. You need to submit it to a script (PHP, ASP or whatever you choose and is supported by your web server), and then get the script to mail the content of the form.

To submit and use post or get you need a dynamic language like asp, asp.net, php or whatever... 

if you dont have those dynamic languages available on your hosting then the best to take a free mail form you can get one from

You need an actual form. That is just a button that opens up the viewer's email client.

...what Robin said.
Just to add: don't get mixed up with action="post" being to email (hey, I did!), and that server-side email forms are pretty easy to implement and a LOT more secure.

If you can't run scripts, cloak the address from spambots.
