So, I'm currently studying an HTML course on udemy and there's a part in the video where the instructor creates a "mailto" attribute and when she clicks the "submit" button, it opens her mail client. I followed everything to the teeth and even checked on the mdn website but nothing opens when I click "submit" on my end.
This is a test form that I created, please check below!
<form action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="yourName" value="">
<br>
<label>Email</label>
<input type="email" name="yourEmail" value="">
<br>
<label>Preferred contact date:
<input type="date" name="yourContactDate" value="">
</label>
<br>
<label>Your feedback</label><br>
<textarea name="yourFeedback" rows="10" cols="10"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="">
<br>
<label>Rate your experience!</label>
<input type="range" name="" value="" min="0" max="100">
</form>CodePudding user response：
I tried your code and it does work on my browser.
However, after doing some research, I found that some browsers will not open mailto forms if you use post.

your formular is flawless in my opinion.
I you dont have a very special Browser, check your default application for emails in your operating system. Make sure you use something recommended like Outlook or Firefox to handle the mail:to form.
Otherwise you should take a look over here, in that case, that it might be caused by your browser:
