Create Mailto Links

A hyperlink is a direct connection from the current location of the cursor to another location.
You can use the anchor tag to create a hyperlink to your email address. This is called a mailto link.

When you create a mailto link, it takes the visitor to a New Message box in the mail program of the browser.

The message is pre-addressed to the email address you designate in the tag.

Format The format of a mailto link is

<A HREF="mailto:[emailaddress]">[clickable text ]</A> where [emailaddress] is your email address

Example Send an email to your instructor

would appear in HTML as

Send an email to your <A HREF="mailto:ataormina@nvcc.edu">instructor</A>
