Email this page

[Peter]

Does anybody know how you add the option to email a page. So for example I come across a web page and I know a friend who could benefit from the info so I click the option and input their email address and a little message and click send. Is this easy or hard to incorporate.

Thanks for reading

Hmm.. If it's on another web page, why not copy/paste the URL in an e-mail?

Im aiming for something like what can be done with Blogs where you click the option and you can send the page with a nice personalised message.

Thanks

Oh ok then. It's rather simple:

Add this js:

<script language="javascript">
function mailpage()
{
mail_str = "mailto:?subject=Check out the " + document.title;
mail_str += "&body=I thought you might be interested in the " + document.title;
mail_str += ". You can view it at, " + location.href;
location.href = mail_str;
}
</script>

You can edit this ^^ in the obvious places.


Then, take the text that you want to link, and put it inside a <a href...> tag.. Make the text link to :

javascript:mailpage()



Hope this helps,
