This isn't php.
Ask in the javascript forum or html.

There's still PHP there. View Source in the browser to see what it appears like client-side.

Even if you fix it, how will you know it works with other mail clients?
Mailto links are not recommended, since they rely on the user having a mail client set-up with an account that they can use. That will not always be the case.

I am trying to get users to fill in a form on a web page, then click a button to send an e-mail. I am using JavaScript to get the fields from the form, then run a mailto command to put the information into an email. I can create a mailto link in the page using innerHTML, but it seems silly to click a button, a link appears, then click on the link. How do I execute the mailto command using JavaScript?

I'm have a form with a datagrid showing a checkbox for each row. I want the user to be able to click a checkbox and then click a button that sends an email similar to how the HREF MailTo: works. I can't embed the MailTo: in the webpage b/c the button has to determine which row has a checkbox, pull data from SQL and then build the email content.
