Sending an email from a web form requires a server side language to communicate with a mail server and send messages.
Do you Know PHP or ASP.NET.If yes then check these links PHP Example orASP.NET Example

Your question is like asking - "How can I reach the moon using a pedal led bicycle"...

And the answer is - You cannot.

Sending email requires SMTP server. It cannot be sent from the HTML alone. You need the access to the SMTP server which resides on server side. So you need to switch to dynamic website on platform like ASP.NET or PHP or any other.

HTML websites are static. They cannot be used to send email. At the most the user can open his default email editor by clicking on the mailto link in the HTML page.But cannot actually SEND mail from your website.

hi ... I tried this in php and not working following programs
$to = "santhoshdevcare@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

if (mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers )) {
echo("<p?-->Email successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Email delivery failed…</p>");
}
