When programming a "mailto:" tag, is it possible to have the mail alias show up (i.e. Joe Smith vs. jsmith@webstar.com)?
 
Do you want it to say Joe Smith in the Mail form or on the page that links to the mail form?
 
Yes, but it requires some JavaScript (below) and it only works for what's displayed in the status bar on the page that CONTAINS the "mailto:" link. Here's the JavaScript enhanced link that will do it for you:<br>
<br>
&lt;a href=mailto:jsmith@webstar.com onMouseOver="window.status='Joe Smith';" onMouseOut="window.status='';return false;"&gt;Linked text/image here&lt;/a&gt;<br>
<br>
If you have any more related questions, feel free to e-mail them to me at: robherc@netzero.net I will be glad to be of service.
