javascript email

[Junior]

Using this syntax:
MailTo with multiline message in Body

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?body=The message's first
paragraph.%0A%0aSecond paragraph.%0A%0AThird Paragraph.">

Works fine, except cursor sets at end of "To:" addressee and not in body of
email. If you start typing you are not in the body of the email but in the
addressee line and it gets messed up. Anyway to have cursor set in body of
email?

Thanks for any help.

Wrong NG.

This has nothing to do with Javascript.

It depends on the email programme you use.

Anyway to have cursor set in body of email?

Anyway? Any way?

It is a setting of the email client of the machine - I don't believe
it's possible to modify it.

But there is another problem with your code.

http://rfc.net/rfc2368.html (RFC2368) says:

| note that line breaks in the body of
| a message MUST be encoded with "%0D%0A".

where MUST means [Cit. RFC2119] "an absolute requirement".

So:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?body=The message's first
paragraph.%0D%0A%0D%0ASecond paragraph.%0D%0A%0D%0AThird
Paragraph.">

Hope this helps,
