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> |
