Email Links using Dreamweaver

An e-mail link opens a new blank message window (using the mail program associated with the user's browser) when clicked. In the e-mail message window, the To text box is automatically updated with the address specified in the e-mail link.

A mailto link will only work if the browser supports e-mail and is setup to work with a local e-mail system.

Step 1 : In the document window position the insertion point where you want the email link to appear, choose Insert>Email Link, the Email link window opens.

Step 2 : In the first input box enter the text you want to appear in the document as an email link and in the next box type in the email address. Next click on OK.

Step 3 : Now you'll see the text as an email link in your document. In the property inspector the Link input box will contain the text ' mailto:mail@tutorailsforweb.com’

To create an e-mail link using the Property inspector:

Step 1 : Select the text or an image in the Document window's Design view.

Step 2 : In the Link text box of the Property inspector, type mailto: followed by an e-mail address. (Do not type any spaces between the colon and the e-mail address) eg. mailto: mail@tutorailsforweb.com
