Email link in edge animation

Question

Hi!
I have very little experience with the coding in edge animate outside the basic API provided by adobe.
I would like to add an email link to a button in edge animate.
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_self");
I can add a basic mailto: script that opens your email application and inputs the email defined.
But, I need to know how add a subject and body content. Specifially a link to a web site in the body copy of the email.
Can someone advise me on the code for this to be done?
Cheers

Answer 1

Instead of window.open("xxxxx"); method, try the window.location = "xxxxx"; on your click event handler.
window.open will force a blank browser window to open, which you do not want to occur.
/// Start Copy Here; paste into click event handler //
window.location = "mailto:[email protected]?  \
subject=Subject Line Here&         \
body=Add body context here with a link http://www.adobe.com to a website&  \
cc=[email protected]&  \
bcc=[email protected]";
// End Copy Here //
Also pay attention to the above notation.
In sum its a mailto URI querystring (?) with specific parmeters equating (=) to a string;
Initiate a new parameter using the &;
Use the backward slash \ to designate when to wrap the string to a new line (for visual effect only and easy wrapping of long text strings within the Code Editor);
I included the cc and bcc (carbon copy/ blind carbon copy) parameters, if not needed see below sample;
Replace the above string results with your own criteria;
/// Start Copy Here //
window.location = "mailto:[email protected]?  \
subject=Subject Line Here&         \
body=Add body context here with a link http://www.adobe.com to a website";
// End Copy Here //
