Email Like That Works in Both IE & Navigator? 2

[flasher40]

Hi, the code below works in IE but not in Navigator. Is there a similar (and as simple) code that is compatible with the latest versions of both browsers?

Thanks, Bill

Invalid markup aside (you do not correctly close the opening anchor tag), you've not said what part of the code doesn't work. For example, does the link itself not work? Is it the mouse effects that doesn't work?

So, try correcting the markup, escaping the spaces and colons in your HREF attribute to %20 and %3A, and removing the old and outdated FONT markup:

<a href="mailto:name@provider.com?subject=RE%20SERVICES&body=NOTE%3A%20Please%20do%20not%20change%20the%20Subject%20title">Contact Me</a>

Hope this helps,
