[Javascript] mailto form - what is wrong?

[Filipiak, Bob (Contractor)]

OK, but don't come back later and ask: "How can I make sure the client has
email configured?"
 
You haven't told the browser to submit the form because you are sending them
to another URL after the timeout. Maybe someone else can tell you how you
can submit a for and then change the page location on the same page.

 Don't rely on client side mailto: Submit your form to a server side process
to do the email and then redirect from the server. Bob Filipiak (Contractor)

For on thing you are sending the visitor to a new page in your onsubmit
function therefore the form never gets submitted.
