Button Submit HTML

I created a button for submitting the form, rather than just submitting the form, it opens a request to send email, or opens my email agent, how to make this button just submit form?

If you have additional questions after @DEVIL's answer, can you post your code in CodePlayground?

If your submit button open email agent or such kind of email sending request behaviour, you've probably fill the 'action' attribut of your <form> (or of the button itself) with an url with the prefix 'mailto:' rather than 'http:'... Anyway, don't forget that to submit form data, you need a server sided service to receive them ^^

Public POST test - it just echoes the fields you send it. http://www.hashemian.com/tools/form-post-tester.php

Your form is quite incomplete (lot of tags not closed) and messy, and the 'action' attribute contains an email url (starting with 'mailto:')... Replace the 'action' attribute with a real url (not a 'mailto:' prefixed one, if you don't want that user manually send form data by mail -- the one suggested by @Kirk Schafer is working ^^), but clean your html, by correctly close the tags at least, if not better structure your form: http://www.hashemian.com/tools/form-post-tester.php (Annoted code to long for post ^^)

@DEVIL don't forget the quotes. <input type="submit" value="submit here">
