I want to open a new outlook mail template with the 'To address' whenever a user clicks an image. I have return my code in a html page(linked with the image), whenever it loads the javascript should open a new mail template. But the functionality is not working. Kindly let me know what is wrong in my code.
body onLoad="redirect()" script language="JavaScript" function redirect() var email = "[email protected]" var mailto_link = 'mailto:' + email window = window.open(mailto_link, 'emailWindow') if (window && window.open && !window.closed) window.close()
Use the code below and add mailto functionality to any element using JavaScript. Copy var email = document. createElement("a"); email. href = "mailto:[email protected]"; email.
Can I send emails with JS or not? You can't send emails using JavaScript code alone due to lack of support for server sockets. For this, you need a server-side language that talks to the SMTP server. You can use JS in conjunction with a server script that will send emails from the browser based on your requests.
No need for jQuery. And it isn't necessary to open a new window. Protocols which doesn't return HTTP data to the browser (mailto:
, irc://
, magnet:
, ftp://
(<- it depends how it is implemented, normally the browser has an FTP client built in)) can be queried in the same window without losing the current content. In your case:
function redirect() { window.location.href = "mailto:[email protected]"; } <body onload="javascript: redirect();">
Or just directly
<body onload="javascript: window.location.href='mailto:[email protected]';">
