I am creating a website for a local business and the idea is to have a box to type in and then you hit the send button and it sends it as an email to the declared email this partially works although after hitting send it opens up an email client and all the words have a + between them. The cancel button also does not delete the typed text. My code is below:

Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsI am not too sure about doing it that way. Why can't you use PHP and have it submit the form. Not all users even have a mail client installed on computer so how will they contact the business if it doesn't get sent my the server. If you really want to do it the mail client way i would ask on [HERE](www.stackoverflow.com) if you do post there though ensure your question is worded good and that you show some effort as they are picky lol.
Sorry couldn't assist more.
