Can't get the contact form to send to email - html

Question

I can't seem to get my contact form box to direct the mail to my email, like after I hit the send message button it just refreshes the page as a continuous loop.
<div class="wow fadeInUp col-md-6 col-sm-12" data-wow-delay="1.6s">
<h1>Questions/comments</h1>
<div class="contact-form">
<form id="contact-form" method="post" action="mailto:kaykaesu#gmail.com">
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Name" required>
<input name="email" type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Email" required>
<textarea name="message" class="form-control" placeholder="Message" rows="4" required></textarea>
<div class="contact-submit">
<input type="submit" class="form-control submit" value="Send a message">
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

<div class="wow fadeInUp col-md-6 col-sm-12" data-wow-delay="1.6s">
<h1>Questions/comments</h1>
<div class="contact-form">
<form id="contact-form" method="post" action="mailto:kaykaesu#gmail.com" enctype="text/plain">
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Name" required>
<input name="email" type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Email" required>
<textarea name="message" class="form-control" placeholder="Message" rows="4" required></textarea>
<div class="contact-submit">
<input type="submit" class="form-control submit" value="Send a message">
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Try adding
enctype="text/plain"
To the form tag.
If this doesn't work then it most likely an OS problem
Microsoft file association to mailto
*On my side your code is working fine

Answer 2

This will work only if the one who is filling the form has a mail client setup in his / her device. To ensure it works properly in all scenarios, you need a server script and point the action attribute of form to that script.
Or else you can use a third party service like Typeform

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$body="Name:".$name."\n"."Email:".$email."\n"."Message:
\n".$message;
if(mail("abc#gmail.com","Query through
Website",$body,"From:".$email))
echo "<p align='center' style='color:green'>Your message has reached
destination.Rest Easy (^_^)..!! We will contact you Shortly</p>";
else
echo "<p align='center' style='color:red'>Damn server!Apologies, but
something went wrong.Please try again (T_T)</p>";
}
?>
