<form action="#">

<div class="block_field fl"><input type="text" class="w_def_text" value="" /><span>Name</span></div>

<div class="block_field fr"><input type="text" class="w_def_text" value="" /><span>E-mail</span></div>

<div class="cl"></div>

<div class="block_textarea"><textarea rows="1" cols="1" class="w_def_text"></textarea><span>Message</span></div>

<input type="submit" class="button_send_message" value="" />

</form>

You'll need server side code to do this, something like PHP.

 

Take note, this is *not* an easy task if your new to web coding and is probably beyond what can be explained easily in a forum post.

 

Even without a form action, the code is wrong, as there's no 'name' attribute in the input fields.

 

Something like this may be of use to you:

These are php form generators.
