You can't use hotmail unless you have a paid account. If you have a paid account, then you need to have a hosting site that allows SMTP/PHP/SendMail (or equivalent).



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 or service MUST allow SMTP ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol ) to work. Otherwise, no email can be sent.

Using a client-side form depends on the user to use their own email program and actually click the send button.

that requires php. or a server side language.



if you are learning html and testing locally this will not work. download and install XAMPP and put your page into htdocs, then browse to it on your development server (http://localhost/thepage.php) make sure the page ends with php.



you'll want to use the php mail function

mail(to,subject,message,headers,parameters)



but to use that you need to get the content from your form with $_GET.

i suggest reading up on some php. its easy and fun :D

Well, you have the form done for sending it, but no action, you need a PHP file to send it to your email. Search "How to make a contact form in PHP" :)

html isn't enough to do exactly what you want, you'll want to learn some php first. http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mail.asp
