Pseudo-protocol and changing pages

[oldrich.svec]

Hi,
I know it is possible to put into address bar some code like
"javascript:GetElementById("name").value=Something" and it will try to
find ID name on the page I am right now and change it. Is it possible
to put this feature into a link? For example, if I click on link
targeting to gmail it will automaticly fill in name and pass on gmail
for me.
Thanks for help
Olda

Olda,

Yes, you certainly can do something like this. Use the 'onclick'
attribute of the A tag to do something like this:

<INPUT type="text" id="name" />
<A href="mailto:[email protected]"
onclick="document.location=this.href+'?subject=email%20from%20'+document.getElementById('name').value;return
false;">email me</A>

Hope this helps

Why abuse a link? Just make it a button. Why do people make this crap
harder than it has to be?

Thanks for the answer but that is not I ment. I wanted to login to
gmail automaticly.. not to send email I have found out that due to
security reasons it is not allowed to change external pages like google
etc. So I will have to find different way. Thanks anyway
