My homepage at has a link for Contact. I want the person to be able to click on it and they can email me. I put a slice on it. My question is what do I put in the object box to get it to work as an email link? Thank you. The secret to education lies in respecting the student. {Ralph Waldo Emerson}.
 
put this as the link <a href=&quot;mailto:emailaddress&quot;>image</a> substittuing emailaddress for the email address you want the user to email

Thanks. I did not explain myself correctly, sorry. The homepage is a Fireworks 4 Graphic file. I did it as a graphic and then exported as html and slices. The contact button is a graphic that I applied a slice to. If I put the standard html coding in the object box after putting a simple rollover with the behavior button it does not work. It throws all the grahics off and there is not a link to any email. Hope this explains it better. Thanks for replying.

P.S. Was I supposed to replace image with an image. If so it did not work either. Hope you can help. Thank you.

first in fireworks just go to the slice over contact and type mailto:<your email> for that slice link that should make it work

or try replacing this line
<td rowspan=&quot;2&quot;><img name=&quot;index_r2_c8&quot; src=&quot;index_r2_c8.jpg&quot; width=&quot;49&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Contact us&quot;></td>

with this
<td rowspan=&quot;2&quot;><a href=&quot;mailto:<your email>&quot; alt=&quot;your email&quot;><img name=&quot;index_r2_c8&quot; src=&quot;index_r2_c8.jpg&quot; width=&quot;49&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Contact us&quot;></a></td>

one of these should solve your problem.
