Mailto error in knowledgebase

The Softpress Knowlegebase has an error regarding mailto

Among others, here’s an example:

mailto:email@hidden?bcc=email@hidden&reply-to=email@hidden&subject=Important Email&body=A short email to say…

Please note that after the first question mark you must insert and ampersand. Otherwise, the whole thing appears in the To field

My favorite mailto formulator, does all the work for you…

Enjoy!

That mailto link looks like it is correctly formed with the question mark separating the email address and the extended attributes. It shouldn’t need an ampersand in there as well. What mail client are you using? It appears to work OK without it in Apple Mail.
Regards,
Tim.

This is annoying. I spent twenty frigging minutes with the same result over and over again. - trying everything I could think of and pulling my hair out. When I inserted the & it finally worked.

Then I quit FW, did something else and relaunched. In response to your post I tried the thing without the & but now it works. There is some friggin bug here.

I am also having an issue where the target field is grayed out. This has persisted after the relaunch. Something is out of whack.

BTW, I used to be a compensated beta tester for several big vendors. When testing you don’t have a stake in a project. You submit your reports and wait for the next iteration. It’s different when you have a deadline.

I’m trying to figure out a way to insert a target but can’t figure it out. Is there a way to extend? – target=“_blank”

With the target field not working, how do I inset a target ? I tried adding an extension but I couldn’t get it to work ----target=“_blank”

Your problem is not FWP. Anchor targets are not supported in some versions
of HTML.

I’ve done this a zillion times before. Select the text, Cmnd-k, pop in the URL, set target to _blank.

My apologies.

I’ve just learned that by switching to XHML strict (required for the Blogger action) shoots down the _target. A workaround would be kinda nifty.

I use XHTML transitional for my blogger templates and it seems to work fine for me. The only thing I need to remember to do is copy the code to a text editor first and change all the non-breaking spaces "   " in the code to "   ".

All the best

Sorry the code changes didn’t show up on the forum. They should have been change
& nbsp ; to & #160 ; (remove the space following the ampersand and before the semi-colon in each case).

You can surround these kinds of code examples with back-tick characters (one per side of the code example) and get a pretty-printed bit of code that won’t auto-escape.  . You probably can’t see these on the Web, but maybe this will show it off:

` `

If you have longer bits of code to show, you can “fence” them off with a run of four tildes on either side of the code, like this:

That’s what I’m using to create the examples on this message.
