JavaScript Which Invokes the URL:MailTo Protocol

[Tom]

Anybody know how to modify this script to return to the HTML page from
which it was launched?

<script language="javascript">
document.location.href="MailTo:";
</script>

You just open a email client,
you do not leave the browser,
and do not collect 200 euros.

Slight problem. The browser(Mozilla Firebird is stand-alone). The
email client(Mozilla Thunderbird) is stand-alone. In this case; how do
you open the email client without leaving the browser? Forget about the
euros!

I cannot help you there.

If I click a <a href="mailto:[e-mail]"> in my stand-alone IE6 the page is
not changed and my stand-alone Pegasus Mail is invoked for the mailing.

So what do you understand under "leaving the browser?
That the focus is changed to the email client?
Or that the browser is closed?

It is in reference to ancient Basic statement Goto:
"Don't goto Go"

I can't see that reference. I rather think it is a reference to
the game Monopoly: "Go directly to jail. Do not pass go, do not
collection 200 <currency>".

In my situation; I wish to invoke the email client so that I can get
mail, read mail, send mail, read newsgroups, etc. That's the purpose of
the javascript. By specifying mailto with no target, it causes the
application(in my situation; this is the email client), which is
specified under open under the registered file type url:mailto protocol,
to be invoked. This works fine until I exit the email client and return
to the browser. I return to a blank page instead of the page that the
HTML page, which contains the script, was invoked from.

Hello there, Tom,

Maybe you shuld use this:
window.open("mailto:")
I hope this solves your problem!

Salutations, Wieger
