mailto: form with javascript

**LifeIsBeta** · 11-21-2006, 02:41 PM

Hey all,

I'm needing to get javascript to pass the inputs from an html form to a mailto: statement.

I can't use server-side scripting, as this form will be locally hosted on our network.

Is this something that's pretty easy to do?

Thanks

Think you are looking for a JavaScript where variables can be a part of of a mailto link. Refer the following code.

There is one Javascript function (createAnchor) through which I construct the link

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function createAnchor(emailId,subject,body)
{
	var mailTo;

	mailTo = "mailto:";

	if(!emailId)
	{
		alert('No mail ID passed; Quitting from the function');
		return;
	}
	
	if(subject == '' && body == '')
	{
		document.write ("<A href='"+mailTo + emailId+"'>mail</A><br>");
	}
	else if(subject != '' && body == '')
	{
		document.write ("<A href='"+mailTo + emailId+"?subject="+subject+"'>mail</A><br>");
	}
	else if(subject == '' && body != '')
	{
		document.write ("<A href='"+mailTo + emailId+"?&body="+body+"'>mail</A><br>");
	}
	else if(subject != '' && body != '')
	{
		document.write ("<A href='"+mailTo + emailId+"?subject="+subject+"&body="+body+"'>mail</A><br>");
	}

	return;
	
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

</html>
