Get mailto address from a textbox on web page

[olivia919]

I tried
<A href="mailto: '<%#txtRequester.value%>'"> in my html code to open a outlook with the email address in txtRequester.
It opens outlook with empty value. I am not sure what I have done wrong. Anybody can help? Thanks.

Rather than write out to a HTML tag, you should use a literal control or a hyperlink. e.g.

<asp:Literal id="Literal1" runat="server"></asp:Literal>

or

<asp:HyperLink id="HyperLink1" runat="server">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>

Then, you can just set them accordingly e.g.

Literal1.Text = "<a href=""mailto:" & TextBox1.Text & """>Email</a>"

or

HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = "mailto:" & TextBox1.Text
