Send To A Friend HTML Code

R

I am developing a webpage with FP 2000, I want to build a hyperlink which will automatically activate the OS File\Send email functionality, so that the user can just type in their friends proper email address and off my page will go. I don't want to build an input screen but would really just like to code the File\Send functionality directly into the hyperlink using HTML code. Is there a way to do this? I am not that HTML savy. Thanks! R

No. In general you can not access the OS directly from a web page as that would be a serious
security breach. You can find JavaScript to handle this function by type the following into the IE
address bar:

? JavaScript Email A Friend Script

You would be better sending the person a link to your page, not an 'html format
email' as they may not have a html-enabled email reader.

There are those sorts of scripts around - try www.hotscripts.com for ASP, PHP,
Perl and Javascript (etc) scripts). Try a google search too.
