Mailto is opening up options

Question

When I insert my into my website and I submit the form Windows 8 pops up a little menu and asks how I want to open this (mailto)

This is my code for the form

 <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="mailto:myemail">  
 <div id="subscribe">
    <input type="text" placeholder="Enter your email address...">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    <div class="clear"></div>
</div>

The mailto is the part i'm having problems with. Any help would be great.

Answer 1

You have to specify a default program for your operating system to email from - this is not something that you can fix through HTML. Whoever is going to your webpage will see a different dialog box if they haven't already configured their default mailto options.

You will not be able to make it automatically send an email through HTML alone- you will have to use a server-side language such as PHP if this is what you intend to do.
