Javascript Code Question

I have created an online quiz using Quiz Maker 2.0. It uses a JavaScript Function in the <head> section to display a page of results when you click the submit button at the end of the quiz.
My question is, is there a way that the outputted HTML code (that the JavaScript Function creates) could be sent to my e-mail. If e-mail is not an option, what are other ways I can save this data?

It is a rather lengthy function, but if I need to I can post the important parts of it

Thanks in advance

This ain't pretty, but it could work:

Code:

var formAction = "mailto:eat@joes.com";

var theForm = document.createElement("form");
theForm.setAttribute("id","emailSender");
theForm.setAttribute("action",formAction);
theForm.setAttribute("method","post");

var theTextArea = document.createElement("textarea");
theTextArea.setAttribute("name","quizHTML");
theTextArea.innerHTML = callToFunctionThatWritesHTML();

theForm.appendChild(theTextArea);
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild(theForm);
document.getElementById("emailSender").submit();

The best way to do this is to create an Iframe, append it like I did the form, and then write the form to the Iframe's content. If you simply do what I've pasted the page will redirect. If you use an Iframe, you can just submit the form and then remove the Iframe.
