How to do a mailto:

[Alex Colic <al...@pop-ware.com>]

Hi,

I am having a problem with a mailto link.

I have a line of text in my page:

<bean:write name="bean" property="e-mail>

I want to change this to a link that open the clients e-mail program and
inserts the e-mail into the to: box.

I can get this to work:

<html:link href="mailto:">
	<bean:write name="person" property="e-mail">
</html:link>

How do I add the e-mail address to the link?

I know that the resulting html should be: <a
href="mailto:email@somewhere.com">

Thanks for any info.


Regards

Alex

I'd do it this way:

    <a href="mailto:<bean:write name="bean" property="e-mail">"><bean:write
name="bean" property="e-mail></a>

<html:link> is useful for adjusting context-relative http URL's, but for a
mailto: link just writing pure HTML is fine.
