Recommend using a server-side script language  if your web site allows it. Otherwise, you will have to use a client-side dependent "mailto:" action to get the form info sent to you.

Your current hosting package MUST allow SMTP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail… ) to work. Otherwise, no email can be sent.

Use any of the below sites to make the workable form you need:

I have form in my website I want to connect it with my email
What do I do  ?
Ex
<form name=\"search\" action=\"What is the code here" method=\"post\" >


Best I have found for processing forms is
http://www.tectite.com/formmailpage.php
Written in PHP
Secure (spammers can't use your form to send other emails), your email is hidden in a configuration file (not in the form) all the form has is a name like "Me" or "Sales".
Has required fields, value checking.
Completely free.
Thorough documentation.
