Forms in a framed page

I created a form that doesn't seem to send the contents of it to the address I have coded.<br />
<br />
What am I doing wrong here? It doesn't mail the info you would input into the form to my email address.<br />
(OR you can see the attached txt document)<br />

A common question is if a form can be created that sends its results to an email address instead of to a CGI. The short answer is "No". Some browsers do support this idea, but the results are URL-encoded and so are diffcult to read. Many browsers don't support mail forms at all. <br />
The best way to have form results emailed to you is to use a CGI. There are many free "form-mailer" CGI programs available. There's a good chance your web server already has a form-mailer CGI ready to use -- many web service providers include this as a freebie for their client. Check with your web administrator.<!--content-->
