Well, Im making something out of HTML and I have it send the Info to my email. But when i click on submit, Outlook or aol trys to open and the info doesnt get sent to my email.

Is there a way i can have it save the Info on my Harddrive? Like in a Text document.

Ex:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<Table>
<form method="post" enctype"text/plain" action="mailto:Myemail">
<input type="checkbox" name="Number" value="1" /> 1<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="Number" value="2" /> 2<br>
<input type="submit" value="send">
</body>

Where it says Mailto: what would i put in or change to make it save the info on to my harddrive?

Dont ask what im useing this for because this is just a moc up.
And also I will only be useing this on one computer, So I dont need the Infromatin sent to anything eles.

try changing the file name from .html to .txt or .doc and resend it. then when you want to use it again, change it back to .html

There is no client-side program (HTML or JavaScript, for example) that will do this. You need a server-side language (PHP or Perl, for example), which can process the info submitted and handle it appropriately (email it to someone, save it to disk, delete it, hehe). If you just want to save whether checkboxes are checked or not, you could use Microsoft Word, which can insert common form fields into the document, and then save that to your hard drive. But if you want it to be web-based, I suggest using PHP, which has a simple mail() function. And for that you would need a host who supports it (may I suggest byethost.com? Best free PHP host I've ever found!)
