I have added a mailto link on every page of my new site. But when I hit the link not only does it open my e-mail program but it also works as a link to a new page with nothing in it except for:
mailto:myemailadres@myemailadres.com
If you want to take a look feel free to do so at:
at the top right you see three links called home - e-mail - log-in.
This is the code used to create the mailto link:
<A class=verdana7FFFFFFFFFFFFt
href="javascript:document.location='mai'+'lto:'+'a'+'bu'+'a@a'+'b'+'ua.'+'nl';">e-mail</A>
What am I doing wrong because this new page ought not to be opened?

| In Mozilla and Firefox it only opens your default mail client. As you outline above its only in Intenet Explorer that this behavior exhibits. Use.. <a href="mailto:'mai'+'lto:'+'al'+'bru'+'na@a'+'br'+'una.'+'nl';">email</a> if you can instead. It seems to work fine that way in IE and your address is still obfuscated. |

Hello boys,
I've forgot this topic because I've lost my internet connection :-(
So if you want to avoid the opening of a new window simply write the same code using the "OnClick"/"JavaCall" event ;-)
This because a link always change the current page ;-) |
Regards, Davide |

I'm a new user to the program and I found this thread while trying to create a simple "contact" link that will open up the browsers email program. I don't quite follow what you guys are doing here, but this worked for me--so, in case someone needs it:
create a label, open the link wizard, choose "file on the internet", enter the following: mailto:xxx@xxxyz.com
--Ian
(Great program, Davide, very much enjoying it and learning a lot!) |

| Davide using the "OnClick"/"JavaCall" event my dialogue is only able to accept a limited amount of characters. What do you recommend when the script is longer in length? Edit by hand the finished HTML? |

Because the phrase "mailto:" and an explicit mail address are detected by webbots scanning your pages for legitimate email addresses to add to their spam list. |

I understand that if I want to create a contact-button on my website for e-mail-contact, I can:
- insert a button-object (list left on the screen);
- make Value = Contact
- open within the object the event editor;
- choose the event Onclick;
- choose the action Javacall;
and then I have to insert the Java-code in the field Java call.
But it's not quite clear for me which code I have to fill in.
(or does I have to learn HTML and Java?)
The codes
<a href="javascript:document.location='mai'+'lto:'+'a'+'3s@c'+'ai'+'way'+'.nl';">e-mail</a>
(for the e-mail-adress a3s@caiway.nl)
or
<a href="mailto:'mai'+'lto:'+'a'+'3s@c'+'aiw'+'ay.'+'nl';">email</a>
give a HTML-page-result with a button and the following text (besides the button):
email;return false;" value="Contact">

Davide: I tried your suggestion of creating a mailto: link and adding my email address encoded with "antispamencoder". It keeps getting rejected because it is not in the format user@host.
Did this work at some time and now does not? How do I fix it? |

Porky: that's the same program that Davide suggested...
I figured out the problem... it does NOT work with the link as Davide suggested; it has to be an HTML object. Works like a champ now!

| The program works on mail-links in an already html coded page....not by encoding then adding. |

| Porky... not sure what you are trying to tell me... I created a mailto: link as Davide suggested and added the obfuscation to it... rejected. But if I take a HTML object and add the verbage and link, it works great! So, I'm really not sure what you are saying, sorry... |

| I just create my mailto-links as usual and use the encoder on the completed,exported .html/.htm pages as directed and have never had any problems. I use the encoder to do many pages at once. |
