Cinnamon Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Someone,Fred I think, helped me with a website when I first set it up, as I couldn't work out how to do a few things. Now I need to add a clickable email link, which I can't for the life of me seem to be able to do Can anyone help? Its on Google sites, if that info is needed.

Leicester_H Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I put one on this page https://sites.google.com/site/allweatherwalkers/contact-us Start to edit the page, click on the html icon in row of icon above. My code is If you want any further information please email allweatherwalkers@gmail.com - we WILL reply. STRUCTURE   = non breaking space = where you want email to go allweatherwalkers@gmail.com = what text you want to show Seems to work - if I click on link, it opens up Outlook etc. Does that help ?

majorbloodnock Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Absolutely correct. As Leicester_H said, it's all about using the HTML anchor tag (the one that begins and ends in ). Basically, the anchor tag contains an attribute called href, and what you put in there decides what the link does. If you say href="http://bbc.co.uk" then clicking the link will take you to a different web page. If you say href="file://...." then it'll try to open a file on your hard drive. If you say href="mailto:....." then it'll open up your email programme, open a new blank email and start populating some fields. More specifically, here are a few examples: Mail Link will display the words "Mail Link" as an active link, and clicking it will create a new email preaddressed to joe.bloggs@test.com. Mail Link will do the same, but preaddress it to both joe.bloggs@test.com and jane.doe@test2.com. Mail Link will do the same as the first, but will prepopulate the subject field of the email with Test Testing. Mail Link will do the same as the third, but additionally add some body text saying "This is just a test". Loads of fun, but you're at the mercy of the browser and email client your intended audience is using; not all honour this functionality completely.

Leicester_H Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi If you get stuck, you could temporarily change the password and PM me with 1. site url 2. the email address 3. what text you want to display 4. the username and (temp) password and I'll do it for you (as I have used google sites it shouldn't take more than 5 mins). I am out Wed morning but in the afternoon. When done, I'd PM back and you can then reset the password. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
