<a href="mailto:?"> creates a mailto </a> closes a mailto Not every link on the Web leads to another Web page. Often, pages include links that let people send email to a particular address. This type of link is known as a "mailto," and is just as easy to build as a link to another page. When creating a link, you sandwich the linked words with the tags <a href="?"> and </a>. A mailto is exactly the same, except you replace the ? with an email address instead of a URL. If your email address were monkeyboy@webmonkey.com, your HTML might read: <a href="mailto:monkeyboy@webmonkey.com"> monkeyboy@webmonkey.com</a> And the page would appear like this: monkeyboy@webmonkey.com Of course, the words can say anything you want, such as: <a href="mailto:monkeyboy@webmonkey.com"> make my life miserable by sending me more email</a> Which appears like this: make my life miserable by sending me more email Got a handle on it? Do it. | |||
