Under some conditions, "you" can send email with setting your email adress on a particular format, at the attribute 'action'... exactly, you can heavy incitate the user to manually send the mail, by prefilling some informations as address to send, subject, and body message and let the web browser ask OS to open mailing app with a mail to send that the user need to manually validate ( and so modify/read )... ... or not :P This is the essential limitation ^^ Check this code for the syntax of the email url prefix: https://code.sololearn.com/W462919Ld2m7/#html

You need to put the file/page name of the page your form is submitted to in the action attribute.

the action attribute is for a back-end language for example a php page when you receive the data from the inputs and storage in a data base or do the work that you want to do with them

You can't send email from html, you need a back-end service like PHP or java,etc. Otherwise it's not possible. As you don't have a website one thing you can do is that you can create a back-end service on a server using free web hosting companies and then link that page in the action attribute in form tag.

You don't need to create a whole website but you need to create a back-end service file on the server and host it.
