submit button doesn’t work in FF

I took over a website for a non-profit cat shelter. It had a long (75 entry boxes!!) application form which used ASP. It worked fine for a while and then suddenly didn’t work. I don’t know ASP so I tried to convert it into a basic html form. It works fine in IE but nothing happens when I click on the Submit button in FF. The beginning and ending code is like this –

<form action=”mailto:[email protected]?subject=form submission” method=”post” enctype=”text/plain”>

<table cellpadding=”2″ cellspacing=”5″ border=”0″ bgcolor=”#c8defcf”><tr><td><font face=”Verdana” size=”2″ color=”#000000″>ADOPTION APPLICATION</font></td></tr></table>

<br><table cellpadding=”2″ cellspacing=”5″ border=”0″ bgcolor=”#c8defc”><tr valign=”top”> <td nowrap><font face=”Verdana” size=”2″ color=”#000000″>Name of Cat(s)</font></td> <td><input type=”text” name=”Name of cat” size=”50″> </td></tr>
——

<input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”Submit”>
<input name=”reset” type=”reset” id=”reset” value=”Reset”>
&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

I ran the form through an html validator to see if there was something else causing it but everything checked out fine, even though the coding is antiquated. I can’t use one of the free online form generators because it is too long.

I very much appreciate any help. We can’t afford to pay someone to do this as ASP or PhP so I am hoping they will be happy with just an html form – if I can get it to work in FF.

@ryanbutlerJan 21.2011 — Works for in FF for me w/ the code you gave, though you're opening up that email address to all sorts of spamming issues.
