Making an Email Link

Mailto is a kind of neat trick that many people have taken advantage of. You see it everywhere; click on a link and email software opens up with your address filed in, ready to be sent off. Mailto is actually a link, so the code is similar to a regular link.

<A HREF="mailto:your@email.address">Email me!</A>

Don't forget the quotation marks!

You can also use an image instead of text as the email link:

<A HREF="mailto:susan@frc.ua.edu"><img src="name.gif"></A>

When you click on this link, your email software will pop up, provided your code is correct and you have specified your email address in the browser.
