I am thinking about using Links to list email addresses instead or URLS so when the name is clicked you get a mailto: instead of url.

Has anybody done this? How are would it be?

Thanks

Yes I have it, this i a piece of my script:

ID => [0, 'numer', 5, 8, 1, '', ''],
'Contact Name' => [1, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],
'Contact Email' => [2, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', '.+@.+\..+'],

and:

$db_category = 4; $db_modified = 3; $db_url = 2;
$db_hits = 10; $db_isnew = 12; $db_ispop = 13;
$db_contact_name = 1; $db_contact_email = 2; $db_title = 1;

and put mailto: in jump.cgi, and you're ready to go.

So URL --> email
So Title --> name

Hi,

Another option is to write the URL as

mailto:address@domain.com

rather than

http://www.domain.com


I'm not sure whether this works on all browsers, but using IE4 I have this working at

I hope that helps,
Andy

Where exactly do you insert the code to use an email address instead of a URL?

Hope,
