How to: close e-mail box automatically?

[RBonzo]

I have written a basic Mailto form which I will insert into the body of an e-mail with a submit button at the bottom. It works fine, BUT, the form does not close the e-mail box automatically when the user clicks 'submit'. Is there a way I can do that with Java or other language?

If I understood you correctly,then here is wat happens.
when you press submit and the action attribute of the form triggers the rest of the form/page is out of focus, that means you are not able to perform any more actions on the document.

Thank you for responding, but I don't think what you describe is what happens. What happens, right now, is that when the user clicks submit, the data is submitted, but the e-mail window remains open and in focus. What I would like to do is make the window close automatically after the user clicks submit. Any further thoughts you may have would be most welcome.

I intend for it to appear in the client e-mail window - that is, I paste it directly into an e-mail formatted in html, and then send it

but I have posted it so you can look at it with a browser right now

thanks for taking a look!

if you intend to close a desktop email client from browser then ,I am afraid that won't be possible with JavaScript
