[Pro] MailTo: or Share Button with HTML

Freeway
1

I have a client who wants a “Share” or “Recommend” button, where… when clicked it opens up that viewers email and creates a message… they can forward to a friend.

The problem is that she wants to include a clickable link to her site and the mail: command doesn’t allow clickable links.

Any ideas or workarounds would be appreciated.

thanks

John

This is something that I did quite some time ago. http://www.deltadesign.co/fw_examples/other/recommend.html

It sends an email with a link to the page that it came from.

Try it with your email address as the ‘friend’.

The email gives you something like this

My example uses a php script that I got from http://viewfinderdesign.co.uk/archive/24/send-to-a-friend-script/

You can tweak it to suit your needs.

If you need help with implementation then speak up.
