Sending email from HTML to JavaScript

Hello I got an assignment and I can't figure out how to send email based on the fields.

So for example I have four text fields: title, first/last name and email.
Then a button "confirm". When the button is pressed it will run the script.

I got the script running but only with fixed data, which is not quite what is required.

Thanks in advance!

This is my script:

XML

<script>
function sendEmail()
/* This script by pressing "Confirm" will automatically open a default email software to send email to the address
provided with subject "Assignment4" and body from the input fields.
*/
{
    window.open('mailto:test@example.com?subject=Assignment4&body=SUSHI-MASTER James Tam');
}
</script>

What is that supposed to mean: sending e-mail from HTML to JavaScript? I guess, you are sending it to test@example.com. Anyway, JavaScript doesn't send mail.
If what you are doing is what you want, not clear what prevents you from using a variable string instead of constant.
Note that the whole thing makes very little sense: if your user is supposed to type title, name and all of that, why not doing it in some appropriate mail client?
