Send to A Friend And Java Problem

[Steve Horrillo]

I can't figure out why this script won't insert the subject in the email and
why can't I control the font and size being used? I'm not sure where to post
this. Let me know where if this is OT.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
<!-- Begin
function isPPC() {
if (navigator.appV ersion.indexOf( "PPC") != -1) return true;
else return false;
}
if(isPPC()) {
document.write( '<b>Send <A CLASS="contact" HREF=\"mailto:\ ?subject\=Take a
look at website I found.?body=You can see this website at
http://www.BrokerAgent Training.com\" onMouseOver="wi ndow.status=\'S end your
friends e-mail about this website\'; return true" TITLE="Send your friends
e-mail about this website">this website<\/A> to a friend</b>');
}
else { document.write( '<b>Send <A CLASS="contact" HREF=\"mailto:\ ?body\=Take
a look at this website I found. You can see this website at
http://www.BrokerAgent Training.com\" onMouseOver="wi ndow.status=\'S end your
friends e-mail about this website\'; return true" TITLE="Send your friends
e-mail about this website">this website<\/A> to a friend</b>');
}
// End -->
</script>

3.Towards the end you put "<\/a>" instead of </a>

That is correct. You should always escape the sequence "</" when
it occurs inside a script element. He should do the same for "</b>".

This is one of three levels of escaping which need to be done here.
Also, to conform with the URI specs, all spaces in the "mailto:" URI
need to be escaped as %20, and there may be other characters which also
need to be escaped. Furthermore, under the HTML specs, any ampersands
in the URI need to be HTML-escaped as &amp;.

He wrote "<!-- Begin". That is at least a valid HTML comment starter.

There is no reason to have "<!--" in the script element at all, so it
should not be commented, just removed.

If it is not removed, it must be assumed that the author intends it to
work as an HTML comment for browsers not understanding that the script
element content should not be rendered (which includes pretty much no
browser newer than Netscape 2). For that purpose, there should not be
anything outside of the HTML comment, so there should not be slashes
in front of it.

<snip>
Corrent it should not have the '//' before the HTML comment if within
the SCRIPT tage, where it should have gone was before the 'Begin' to
prevent the JavaScript error, i.e.,

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- //Begin ...

But again as been already noted the HTML comment to hide the script is
obsolete and just should be removed.

Take care,

The "<--" would be an ECMAScript error too, in pure ECMA 262 ECMAScript,
so the "//" wouldn't make any difference there.

Browsers have extended ECMAScript with the "<--" syntax, and all the
browsers I have seen makes "<--" work just as "//", i.e., a comment
to the end of the line. In these browsers there is no need for "//"
either, so I don't believe it is ever needed.

It was a typo. I fully understand the difference OK?

The border line: mailto pseudo-protocol was used 100's and 1000's of
times to break the domain security over the last 15 years. It has all
imaginable security limitations. It may be the most up-to-date secure
protocol in the Interner :-)

You may want to read this ancient (relatively) thread:

Rubbish. `mailto:' just does not work; it is not a security issue at all.
