    You can't do this in HTML alone. You will set the "action" of the form to a page that will handle the email.
    You have three options:
    1. Use action="mailto:email@your.com"
    That will just open their email program, and it doesn't seem very professional. I wouldn't recommend it.
    2. Find a "free form mailer" and use their service. Easy, but also not very professional.
    3. Create a form mailer yourself using a language like PHP-- any serverside language will work-- CGI, ASP, JSP, etc. This is definitely the hardest but also will be the best in the end. It isn't so hard to create the code, but sometimes is difficult to make it properly interact with your server.
