You might use Form tag with action attribute to submit the mailto.

Here is an example:

<form method="post" action="mailto:youremail@youremail.com" >
<input type="submit" value="Send Email" /> 
</form>

There are several ways to do an email from HTML. Typically you see people doing a mailto like so:

<a href="mailto:email@address.com">Click to email</a>

But if you are doing it from a button you may want to look into a javascript solution.
