my ? is that ive made a butt that i need to activate and the script i wanna add to it is the mailto script so that when ppl click it their mail box ccomes out and etc. now when i add it it doesnt work, it stays still like nothing was added. the code i placed on the button was was the  
getURL(“[mailto:soandso@wherever.whatever](mailto:soandso@wherever.whatever)”); and it for some reason doesnt work, now when i remove the mailtoscript and add an actual websites adress say for example [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com), it works fine so…um any help is appreciated.

thanks aku
