I know its in html and i want to keep it in html, but the code in word press messes :S
Help.

I can't see anything wrong with your markup, but I would like to suggest a mailer script.

code:

---

<?php
mail("xyz@abc.com", "Contact form data", var_dump($_POST));
?>

---

This is from the code I used for my science fair script and I found it works nicely it you dont mind the format.

I wrote this code assuming you have php with mail() seeing that you mentioned WordPress.

Why do my buttons keep on going in word press...
Submit and reset keep dissapearing =/

If you look in the page source are they there?

        <div class='snap_preview'><form action="mailto:xyz@xyzhost.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="80%">
<tr>
<td width="35%">
<p align="right"><strong>Name:</strong></p>
</td>
<td width="65%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td width="35%">
<p align="right"><strong>Email:</strong></p>

<td width="65%"></td>
