How to Create a Custom E-mail Link
There are times when you just need
a pre-formatted reply by e-mail
without having to create a form. This is especially true if
you require specific feedback for
certain areas of your site so
visitors can send you a short
message or reply from their e-mail
program. Maybe your host doesn't
allow forms or you don't know how
to create a form in your web page
yet to send you an e-mail.
To create the text mailto link,
type this code into your HTML and
edit it.
Regular mailto links are simply
coded <a
href="mailto:yourname@yoursite.com">Your
link text here</a> . To customize
and pre-fill the subject line
field, add:
<a href="mailto:yourname@yoursite.com?subject=Subject
Of This E-Mail">Your
link text here</a>
To customize and also pre-fill the
body of the message add:
<a href="mailto:yourname@yoursite.com?subject=Subject
Of This E-Mail&body=Whatever
you want to say in the message.">Your
link text here</a>
Copy the code below, paste it into
the HTML where you want it to
appear in your page and edit it:
If you're very new to forms or
haven't learned to code or use
them on your site yet, or your
host won't allow them, you can get
a free forms processor for your
site:
