E-Mail Links From Your Page
This is what's known as a mailto: command. It follows the same coding scheme as the hypertext
link above. What this format does is place blue wording on the screen that people can click to
send you a piece of e-mail.
Here's the pattern:
<A HREF="mailto:bisonhtml@yahoo.com">Click Here To Write Me</A>
Notice it's the same format as a link except in a link you write "mailto:" in place of the http:// and
your e-mail address in place of the page address. Yes, you still need the </A> flag at the
end. Please notice there is NO SPACE between the colon and the e-mail address.
Here's what you get using the "mailto:" command above:
Click Here To Write
Me
Go ahead, click on it. I know you're dying to. You'll get an e-mail dialogue box addressed to me.
Then you can write if you want. The same thing will work for you. Just place your e-mail address
in place of mine following the format above.
And that wraps up HTML Lesson Day #4. Next time we get into the fun part of the World
Wide Web, images.
