Any HTML Geeks Willing to Help?

Sep 2nd, 2008

Hi Everyone! I need a teeny tiny favor from someone well versed in HTML that will be accepted by Blogger. . .
I need an HTML email contact form. I went to W3 Schools and got one. I added to my post and published it. It composed well and the little boxes appeared and everything, but when I clicked on it to send a test email, it gave me an error page.
Can anyone help me with this?

I will enclose the code I used below but cannot send you to my page, because I am currently using another code that does work. I don't like it though, because it is a service that includes pop ups and most people hate those, so I want something simple that will not upset anyone.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Here's the code I got from W3Schools:

 html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<html>
<body>
<form action="MAILTO:myemail@gmail..com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
 
<h3>This form sends an e-mail to Craftybegonia.</h3>
Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="name"
value="yourname" size="20">
<br>
Mail:<br>
<input type="text" name="mail"
value="yourmail" size="20">
<br>
Comment:<br>
<input type="text" name="comment"
value="yourcomment" size="40">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
 
</form>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="MAILTO:myemail@gmail..com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

<h3>This form sends an e-mail to Craftybegonia.</h3>
Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="name"
value="yourname" size="20">
<br>
Mail:<br>
<input type="text" name="mail"
value="yourmail" size="20">
<br>
Comment:<br>
<input type="text" name="comment"
value="yourcomment" size="40">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">

</form>
</body>
</html>

And yes, I substituted my real email for the "my email part" I don't understand why it doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me and help me to make it work?
Thank you so much!
Well, I changed my mind, I'll add my blog so that you can see the other form.
I don't like it because of the pop up. Here it is.
