Calling a Javascript Function using Anchor tag in ASP.net

[ravitunk]

hi..i have a javascript function which uses window.open() function to open another window... as below...

<script language ="JavaScript"> 
function openWin(url)
 { 
   window.open(url,"composerwindow","toolbar=no,width=350,height=400,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resize=no,menubar=no"); 
 } 
</script>

my ASP.net application sends an email which has a link. If the user clicks on the link then the javascript function is called....but am unable to do so...

ASP.net Code is as follows....

 a = http://localhost:7899/folder1/newfile.aspx; 

 ht1.RenderBeginTag("a href=javascript:openWin('" + a + "')");
          ht1.RenderBeginTag("P");
          ht1.WriteLine("Click Here");
          ht1.RenderEndTag();
          ht1.RenderEndTag(); 
 

am unable to call a javascript function using Anchor tag(as detailed above)...Can u please suggest me an approach to accomplish it...thanks for any help...

I don't believe emails support javascript? They render html, but that's about it.
Although I suppose it's limited to the capabilities of the emailclient.
don't think any of them support javascript.
