Hi ya all!

I have actually a stupid question but I am not sure so i have to ask -

If I want the contact button to open the users email “Outlook or whatever they use” is it really as simple as putting this code on the button:

on (release) {  
getURL (“[mailto:sidewalk@optonline.net](mailto:sidewalk@optonline.net)”);  
}

[mailto:sidewalk@optonline.net](mailto:sidewalk@optonline.net) being my email address…

That seems too easy. I scoured the net and all I can find is info on creating an email form using PHP which I don’t want - I do want to open the user’s email - unless for some reason you can tell me why I shouldn’t.

Thanks!
