JavaScript: E-mail: Parameter: Is there way of passing parameters to
subject or body of an email?
---
To get the idea, type this in the URL field of your browser
(this will open your currently active e-mail client,
e.g. Microsoft outlook, or Yahoo compose mail, ...)
javascript:window.open("mailto:test@test.com?
Cc=test@test.com&Subject=test&Body=test");
where:
e-mail address(es) is the text after 'mailto:'
and
cc address(es) is the text after '?Cc='
and
subject text is the text after '&Subject='
and
body text is the text after '&Body='
---
If you want to use pure HTML, use
(save this e.g. as
myexamp1.htm
and load this file in your browser
)
--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
e-mail example
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<A HREF="mailto:test@test1.com?
Cc=test@test1.com&Subject=test&Body=test"> Send an e-mail </A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------
---
If you want to include it in a JavaScript method, include the line:
window.open( "mailto:test@test.com?
Cc=test@test.com&Subject=test&Body=test" );
---
to use parameters include something like
(save this text for example as
myexamp.htm
and load this file in your browser):
--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<BODY
onLoad=' PROCEmailRun
( "test@test1.com", "myfriends@myfriends1.com,mygirlfriend@mygirlfriend
2.com,myotherfriends@myotherfriends3.com", "test", "Hi,%0A%0AHow are
you doing?%0A%0A%0Awith friendly greetings,%0A<your name>" );'
>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<!-- library: e-mail: send [kn, ri, tu, 18-09-2001 01:40:52] -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
<!--
// function PROCEmailRun( myemailS, myccS, mysubjecttextS,
mybodytextS ) {
// e.g. <HTML>
// e.g. <BODY
// e.g. onLoad=' PROCEmailRun
( "test@test1.com", "myfriends@myfriends1.com,mygirlfriend@mygirlfriend
2.com,myotherfriends@myotherfriends3.com", "test", "Hi,%0A%0AHow are
you doing?%0A%0A%0Awith friendly greetings,%0A<your name>" );'
// e.g. >
// e.g. </BODY>
// e.g. </HTML>
var mailtoS = "mailto:" + myemailS + "?Cc=" + myccS + "&Subject=" +
mysubjecttextS + "&Body=" + mybodytextS;
window.open( mailtoS );
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------
---
---
PS
new line in the body: add %0A
comma in the body: add %2C
space in the body: add %20
(or more generally %<the ASCII hex code for that character>)
in the bodytext parameter.
