This is a JavaScript newsgroup, not a Java newsgroup.

A glance at that (you could have been more specific), suggests they use the
mailto technique. Read all about it:

Now read about how form data should be handled:

It's probably not a good idea to use code from a site that
refers to them "Java Scripts". It suggests that the author
doesn't really understand that Javascript has nothing at all
to do with Java.

There is no Javascript or Java required to create an email
form. All you need is HTML and to know that every visitor
who uses the form has their default email agent defined so
that the browser can invoke it, and that their browser
supports the "mailto" protocol, and that they don't mind
allowing your form to send their information via email.

If you're willing to believe that all of those are true,
all you need is something like this. Again, there is
no Java or Javascript involved at all:

<html>
<body>
<form action="mailto:[email protected]"
method="post"
enctype="text/plain">
<input name="alpha"><br>
<input name="beta"><br>
<select name="gamma">
<option>one</option>
<option>two</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
