Open New Email Window without using HREF?

[ClarkJeff]

I'd like to programmatically open an email window in ASP, without forcing the user to click on a HREF link. I do want to be able to redirect the user to another ASP, but have the email window stay open. A Response.Redirect "mailto:name@server.com" will work, but the current page actually gets redirected and goes blank. Thanks.

try adding the

target="_new"

command

Where do I put the command? I didn't want to use a HREF, if possible. Thanks.

this bit of code amy help:

<script language=javascript>
function openemail(emailadd) {
window.open(&quot;mailto:&quot;+emailadd)
}
</script>

<span onclick=&quot;openemail('some@one.com')&quot;>email me</span>

Thanks for the tip, but I wanted to open this programatically inline without requiring a user to click. I'm looking into calling a Javascript function from ASP. That should work then. Thanks.

After sitting here thinking about it a little more, I don't think I'll be able to do what I was originally thinking about. I have to go to a new page to make this work, as the browser has to go somewhere to be able to launch the email program. I think I'll be able to make it work from here. Thanks for all you help!
