<a href="mailto:?"> creates a mailto
</a> closes a mailto
Not every link on the
Web leads to another Web page. Often, pages include links that let people send
email. This type of link is a "mailto," and is just as easy to build as a link
to another page.
Remember how a
regular link was made by sandwiching the linked words between the tags <a
href="?"> and </a>? A mailto link is exactly the same, except you
replace the "?" with "mailto:" and then insert an email address instead of a
URL.
If your email address
were floyd@lessons.iofm.net, your HTML might read:
<a
href="mailto:floyd@lessons.iofm.net">
Send me
mail!</a>
And on the page it
would appear like this:
Send me mail! |
