Change
<form name="contactform">
to
<form name="contactform" action="mailto:ibrahim52@h isprovider .com" enctype="text/plain">
unless you want to use the safer method of using your ISPs sendmail (if they have it)
The above means that the CLIENT must have a working email setup

ASKER
No its still not working.
That is not very informative
What did you do. What did your email client do. Do you HAVE an email client installed. Which one. What platform. Did you try on more computers. Did you get any error message

oh k,you mean to say whenever the visitor will click that Send button.The default email client will appear ?
No. with POST, the normal thing that happens on windows is that you are warned that this email will be sent with your email client.
with GET it will open the client, but then you need to use subject and body as field names to get the contents into the email.
That is how mailto: works. If that is not how you want it (for example because it is not certain that the user has an email client (for example in an internet cafe or on a phone), then you need to use a server mailing process. Most ISPs have sendmail.

to use mailto or
<form name="contactform" action="theNameOfTheMailPr ogramOfYou rProvider. php" method="post">
to use the program suppied by your provider. It could be called
sendmail.php or similar

May I ask why a "B" grade? I believe I have fully explained all issues.
ASKER
But still the problem has not been resolved on my webpage.I didnt mean to give B intentionally.
Sometimes a "NOT POSSIBLE" is a valid answer - if the client does not install a mail client, then no-one can help you.
I mean it is the same if your client does not have a computer, then they cannot send you mail. That I cannot help with of course
I have explained in details what to do with your form and suggest you use a server mailer - you need to contact your ISP for that
