Im making a website but not quite sure what the script is for a button of mine e-mail me when you click it I want it to open up outlook express and send a e-mail to me (a person who tries to contact me)
getURL("yourname@whatever.com", "_blank");
that should be mailto:yourname@whatever.com

oh yeah that’s what i meant, by bad thanks kartik
a mailform might be better though, since some people don’t have a default mail client installed. me, for example. either you’ll get a nagging screen asking you to set up a new Outlook profile or it will just not work.

Good point you’ve got there.
I agree as well. I hate when Outlook opens up; I close it a figure my email wasn’t important anyway. For my email stuff from a site, I use a PHP mail form. There’s links all over this site for that. :beam:
place this script on your button
//Your code should look like this:
on(release){
getURL("mailto:yourname@yoursite.com");
}
When you want to check if it works, open your file in a browser window.
Good luck!
nice to get a second, and a third
Outlook bad
