You can't send an email with just HTML (From the Front-End) unless you don't mind interacting with a third party service provider which can do the back-end process for you.
Otherwise, you need to use the Back-End, the most common and easiest way to do this is with PHP.

Your "send mail" code would ultimately have to execute on the server, which requires a postback from the HTML page, but the HTML page (or its (script) contents) can't (and shouldn't, even if possible) use local (the user's) settings and facilities to send email.

NO! JavaScript can’t email a form! but, there are alternatives to send the form data to an email address.
PHP mail() function is the best in my eye. Read more about it here: PHP mail() function
