Setting an e-mail code?

[Robbo]

Sorry again guys its me lol I try and google as much as I can but its hard as I dont really know what the key words are.....REALLY appreciate the help so far!!

I need to send up a 'e-mail me' link, like a click >here< link.

That would open a small box in the same window, with name, e-mail, and message boxes, and when click send it comes to a set up default e-mail address etc.

But, is it possible to have in the code some were who it has come from, or what page of my site it has been sent from.

e.g.

say they sent an e-mail from blahblha.co.uk/testing/001.html

when I recieve the mail can I set to code to say it came from 001.html for e.g

many thanks!

If you are writing in html then you can use this.

<a href="mailto:robbo@example.com?subject=001.html">Email Robbo</a>

That way the subject of the email is already filled in as "001.html".

You might be better with a seperate 'contact me' page using a contact form. It'll do what you want plus it helps keep the spam and 'Do you want more Viagra' emails out.

I really need the link in the customer login section under each persons login.

and I need to know which person sent the e-mail.

or any thing that will let them send me a message really but long as I know who it has come from that I can set up in each code in their folder.

A PHP mail form is what I use, but I've heard "normal people" say they don't like them. Mine sends a confirmation email with a copy of the message and other contact means are stated to let the enquirer know their message isn't going into a black hole.

It does depend on the feature being supported by your browser.

What happens if you click on this link ->
robbo@example.com

does it open an email for you with the subject already filled in?

struggling with that.....I can get as far as coping the script into my ftp and uploading it but get totally lost when its on about copying ALL file into my site.

Where to!? Aslo I dont know if it going to let me pick a subject field that cant be adjusted.

ARGHHH .....is suicide an option?

Oh. That's a shame. It works for me and I know it's standard html, but it must be disabled in Chrome. It'll work OK for IE and Firefox - as long as you have a default email client defined.

Anyway, if that's not working for you then it possibly won't work for some of your customers so I think you need the PHP form method that other people have mentioned in the thread.

that don't make sense, Google wouldn't not support a bog standard bit if html that has been around for donkeys.. there's not an option in Chrome to specify a mail client before that works is there?

Well it works in IE and Crazy Browser.

The version I tried didn't have a file open dialog :shrug:

(Dragging files onto Chrome didn't cut it, for me.)
