No. You need something to 'process' the email and send it. You'll have to "POST" the data somewhere. The "mailto" is a workaround, but it's not really sending the way I think you want. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7449767/how-do-i-send-an-html-form-in-an-email-not-just-mailto

Here is what I wrote <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Isba</title> </head> <body> <h4>FIRST HTML</h4> <form action="mailto:isbanda1@gmail.com" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name + comment"></input> <br/> <input type="submit" value="Submit" </form> </body> </html>
