@Nileshpatel i have to use only this simple script not php or .net to send attachment — user1808433, Jan 09 '13 at 06:38
I think it's possible in PHP, but in JavaScript... I think not. — Beny, Jan 10 '13 at 10:19

So, what's your question? I will assume that you are getting some error when you tried to send the email. I have answered a very similar question before:

According to RFC 2368 you can't add an attachment to a message with the mailto: URL scheme due security reasons:

The user agent interpreting a mailto URL SHOULD choose not to create a message if any of the headers are considered dangerous (...) Only the Subject, Keywords, and Body headers are believed to be both safe and useful.

Whether you can put a file attached to an e-mail depends on the mailer. (but many mailers can't add attachement file from maito:protocol)

I think I was able to put the attachments in some versions of Outlook, perhaps.
