HTML cannot send mails by itself.

The code you posted looks like it was created by a graphical editor or something. You should only have 1 <form> tag, inclosing everything in the form:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<div align="center">Name :
<input type="text" name="textfield">
</div>
<div align="center">Email :
<input type="text" name="textfield2">
</div>
<div align="center">Site Name :
<input type="text" name="textfield3">

etc, etc, till:
</form>

It is the 'action' form attribute that tells the server what script to run on form submission. A PHP script with mail() function could work. Sending mails isnt that straightforward if you have no knowledge of scripting languages, im afraid youre going to have to do a bit more research.

You need to substitute the email to your email...Where the 'form file' will be sent to.

Code:

<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
Name: <INPUT name="Name" value="" size="35"><BR>
Email: <INPUT name="Email" value="" size="35"><BR>
Address: <INPUT name="Address" value="" size="35"><BR>
Phone: <INPUT name="Phonel" value="" size="35"><BR>
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
Attachment: <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="attachedfile" MAXLENGTH=99 ALLOW="text/*" >
<INPUT TYPE="submit">
</FORM>

HTH,
-Brian

Using the method described by Brian will launch the user's native email program and populate the message to be sent -- but the user must physically send the message.

Using the script in the link I provided allows the PHP script to send the email itself. The choice of which you prefer to use is yours, but the differences should be identified.
