JavaScript equivalent of href="mailto:emialaddress@gmail.com"

**Rastogi B** · 10-05-2010

Code:

<tr height="20">
                  <td height="20" width="145"><font size="2" face="Arial">Email Address</font></td>
                  <td height="20" width="156"><a href="mailto:emailaddress@gmail.com"><font size="2" face="Arial">
                          <script type="text/javascript"> generateEmail("Email", "Address")</script> </font></a></td>
                </tr>

I built a generate email function with the help of javaScript to replace the email address in the content of the anchor tag (in the above written code). Unfortunately, the plain text email address still resides in the href attribute. I would like to delete this using javaScript as well, any advice on this ?

You are going right but there are some changes that you need to made in the code that and I have something for you that can help you to figure it out.

<td height="20" width="145"><font size="2" face="Arial">Email Address</font></td>
<td height="20" width="156"><a href="javascript:generateEmail('Email', 'Address')"><font size="2" face="Arial">
<script type="text/javascript"> generateEmail("Email", "Address")</script> </font></a></td>
</tr>

Try the same thing with this code ...

Hi,

There is a best one extension for Dreamweaver which will help immensely. You need to download the Super Email in case if you get a chance and you can find it on the official site of Dreamweaver. The sample output would be as follows :

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

document.write('<a href=\"mailto:test'+ '@' + 'test.com\">');
document.write('Hello Rastogi</a>');

</script>

If you are a good programmer then you need to be aware about every terms and techniques that is already provided by the programming language and you need to take all of the benefits to improve the efficiency of your application. There are so many programmers aware about some terms, by the way. I have something new that can perform this task within the few seconds, you need add only predefined component of the programming language with the herf tag.

location.href = "mailto:emialaddress@gmail.com";

You should see the code that I have attached for you in the attachment section..Just take a look there !!!!!

You should use this code to perform the text replacement and I hope it would done as you want. try it out and post me if you are getting any type issue to implementing it or executing...

Code:

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.Techarena.in" onclick="this.firstChild.data = 'loading...'">Techarena</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
