Tutorial Mailto Links

by in , 0

Basic

Open default mail program, create new message with the TO field already filled out.

<a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com">Email Us</a>

Adding a subject

Open default mail program, create new message with the TO and SUBJECT field already filled out. Essentially we are adding the parameter subject to the href value.

Spaces in the subject will probably work OK, but to be super-extra sure, you can replace spaces with "%20".

<a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com?subject=Mail from Our Site">Email Us</a>

Adding CC and BCC

Open default mail program, create new message with the TO, SUBJECT, CC, and BCC field already filled out. Essentially we are adding the parameters cc and bcc to the href value.

Also note that you add multiple values to CC and BCC by comma separating them.

<a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com?cc=someoneelse@theirsite.com, another@thatsite.com, me@mysite.com&bcc=lastperson@theirsite.com&subject=Big%20News">Email Us</a>

Adding Body Text

Just add the body parameter into the ever-growing list of parameters we are using.

<a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com?cc=someoneelse@theirsite.com, another@thatsite.com, me@mysite.com&bcc=lastperson@theirsite.com&subject=Big%20News&body=Body-goes-here">Email Us</a>

How to Keep Flash Behind Other Elements (flash background)

by in , 0

For example, a dropdown menu going "behind" a flash movie, or staying on top of a lightbox layover.

Try This #1

Add this to the Flash embed code:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

Try This #2

Make sure the element that is supposed to be on top has positioning (fixed, relative, or absolute) and a z-index value higher than the Flash object.

Tutorial iPhone Calling and Texting Links

by in , 0

This is the calling one (probably more useful if the clickable text is words, as the iPhone auto-detects phone numbers and does this automatically):

<a href="tel:1-408-555-5555">1-408-555-5555</a>

This is the SMS one, which overrides the default calling behavior:

<a href="sms:1-408-555-1212">New SMS Message</a>

Not sure what other things these links might work on... Might be a little dangerous as having non-standard links that don't work or bring up errors is kinda bad UX. Best for mobile-only sites. If someone know if this works on Android/Blackberry/Other Mobile, comment below.
