Online Quiz Javascript Question

I have created an online quiz using Quiz Maker 2.0. It uses a JavaScript Function in the <head> section to display a page of results when you click the submit button at the end of the quiz.
My question is, is there a way that the outputted HTML code (that the JavaScript Function creates) could be sent to my e-mail. If e-mail is not an option, what are other ways I can save this data?

It is a rather lengthy function, but if I need to I can post the important parts of it

Thanks in advance

JavaScript is a Client side programming Language.
This means it does not interact with the server at all.
Therefore not having access to an email server to send the results.

There is a way you can send for data to your email using the clients email i think. But they are prompt that this is about to happen.

You would need another programming language to work along side your javascript to make this happen. (i.e. php)

Ill see if I can find a link on how to do this.

Ill get back to you.

Here is some code on how to send email using a form and no other server side language.
Code: 
<form action="mailto:you@yourdmainhere.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain" >
FirstName:<input type="text" name="FirstName">
Email:<input type="text" name="Email">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

source:

Maybe this will work for you.

I understand most of that but here is my catch, the javascript actually grades the test instantly. I would like the graded info sent to me,

Code: 
<script language='JavaScript'>
<!--
function gradeit(){var qnum=50;

The small code i showed you above will show the information the user sent in their email client.

If you want to do it like other sites, you will have to look into another language to submit the email from the servers end.

Basically the program will have to take the JS results, and sent it to your web sever, then send using the email server on the web server.

Its very easy if you can program in a server side language.

here are some languages you should look into.

PHP and ASP.NET

As you can see i said the word "server" a dozen times over.
JavaScript is Client Side. This means the client (u and me) interpret the code with our browsers. This is why its so fast)

A server side language does all the processing, calculations etc on the server. Therefore requesting a new web page output.

I hope i did not confuse to too much.

Php is fun. I like the language a lot.

You will have to ensure your web hosting site can also allow you to use a server side languages. A LOT of free hosting sites do NOT allow such programming to take place.

Hope this explains things a bit

I am excellent at troubble shooting PHP and know the basics but for this project i might be in over my head.

What i cant figure out is how to capture the result of the function gradeit(), Once i capture that output i will be fine.

So how can i collect that output then set up a sendmail.php for it to get to me.
