DW CS3 email link

my msn email account was recently changed from hotmail to Outlook (Thank you Microsoft!) Now the DWCS3 code can't get Outlook to open the email form. Any way to associate a different email client with the browser or enter code for private email client?

I would say that you understood perfectly. The mailto:link hangs up on launch. I have asked others using other browsers/email to try the link and they hang up too. I will certainly give Formmail a look-see. Thank you so much.

I'm not sure I understand.
A mailto: link on a webpage will open whatever email client is currently installed. If no email client is installed, nothing will happen.
If you are using an html form on your website and it has stopped sending emails when submitted, you'll need to update the address in the form preocessing script from your old address to your new one.
For what it's worth, using a mailto: link on your website is not recommended, due in part for this very reason. Colleges, Cafes, and any other "public computer" will generally not have an email client set up. If your viewers are using one of those computers and you use a mailto: link, nothing will happen for them. They will not be able to contact you via that link. Mailto: links also leave your address open for spam bot harvesters.
It is much safer to use a form processing script on your server using a server scripting language (like PHP). My personal favorite form processor is currently Formmail from http://www.tectite.com but there are a lot of free form to email processing scripts available online to handle any contact form on your site and send the info to any email address you like.

  • Dreamweaver cs3 email link

    Website's made with a link to an email address (mailto:email address). The link isn't working but on the website it shows as it reads... mailto:email address. Please HELP!

    That code is a jumble. You've got a lot of things that could be "cleaned up".  You've got inline styles on every page, and that makes each page look different - not a good design choice.
    The email link doesn't show because you put the Footer outside of the content wrapper.
    Take the </div> before the footer tag, and move it to after it.
    </div>
    <div class="style7" id="footer">© 2013 Jasmine Cafe. Visualized &amp; Realized by <a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="style7">EBishopDesigns</a>.</div>
    should be
    <div class="style7" id="footer">© 2013 Jasmine Cafe. Visualized &amp; Realized by <a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="style7">EBishopDesigns</a>.</div>

  • How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?

    How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?
    I wrote this, but it does not work:
    btn_emailinfo.on (release) {
    getURL("mailto:"[email protected]");
    }

    I am guessing you put that on a frame?
    If so, the syntax is as follows:
    btn_emailinfo.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
    Though, if you are placing it directly on the button itself,
    the syntax is:
    on(release){
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
    }

  • Email link error

    CentOS 5.2
    Postfix 2.3.3 (comes packaged with OS)
    Dovecot 1.1.1
    DW CS3
    Did a fresh install and created a new web site:
    http://www.imwell-usa.com.
    The web site has an email link for 'Contact Us'. When I CLICK on
    this link to send/test an email (from Win XP PC), I get the
    following error:
    An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server
    responded: 5.7.1
    [email protected]: Relay excess denied. Please check
    the message recipient and try again.
    I have read both Postfix & Dovecot documentation and have
    followed their installation instructions. I am told on the Postfix
    FORUM that I need to install email "Client" software on my PC.
    Well I use both MS Outlook & Thunderbird &
    send/receive emails from both of them without problem. What do I
    need to do? Did I mention that I am new to DW CS3 and LINUS in
    general!
    You can try sending an email from:
    http://www.imwell-usa.com/contact_us.html
    page and see the error.
    Please let me know what change I need & then I can study
    the setting on my own.
    Thanks,

    You are in the wrong forum. This is a Dreamweaver forum that
    deals with web design/development issues. Your problem has nothing
    to do with a web page. The problem is with your mail server.
    Someone here may be able to assist, but you are better off posting
    to a forum that deals with configuration details of your mail
    server.
    >You can try sending an email from: >
    http://www.imwell-usa.com/contact_us.html
    >page and see the error.
    That page simply contains a mailto link. It doesn't matter if
    the user clicks on that link or types the address in manually.
    Again, the problem is not with the web page or Dreamweaver. It's a
    mail server configuration problem.
    That really should be obvious to someone trying to operate
    their own web server.

  • EMail Link in SWF exported from InD CS5 does not work

    I'm trying to find a definitive answer on this. I have designed an interactive document in InD CS5 that has buttons and hyperlinks. When exported to SWF everything works except my e-mail hyperlink. It works fine in InDesign's preview pane. I've uploaded the file to my webserver for testing, the problem still occurs.
    I found one post in another forum that quoted an Adobe InD developer stating that as of CS4 email links were not exported. However, I've not been able to find any mention of whether this works in CS5 or not.
    Does anybody know for sure whether or not email links work in SWF files exported from CS5?

    Sorry, no offense was intended. I had found references to problems with CS4, but nothing about CS5, and said as much in my post -- was frustrated that I had spent a long time looking and hadn't found any responses yet.
    You mentioned using buttons rather than hyperlinks, and that worked for me -- but it might have just been a problem with my browser not properly reloading the flash file, too -- as I mentioned in my response.
    But in any case, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTION!

  • When I try to send a webpage in Firefox (file-email link), Thunderbird crashes. If I copy & paste same link by hand, it works. Why is this?

    When I try to send a web link in Firefox (file-email link), Thunderbird hangs, or I should say the email with the link hangs. The new email shows the link, I add an email address and click send, Thunderbird hangs and never completes the send. I have to copy and paste the link by hand in a new email and then it works. It seems to be an issue regarding how Firefox and Thunderbird are communicating.
    My server uses IMAP. I don't have this problem with POP, but I prefer to use IMAP.
    Thanks for any help!

    Is that the exact message that Outlooks gives you?
    Anyway, why don't you just forward the original link to the document, instead of the PDF itself?

  • With no Firefox window open, I can't launch a new one. Or click on an email link and launch a window. This started when I upgraded to 5. Now I downgraded to 4 again and problem persists

    I upgraded to Firefox 5, then noticed when a window was open I couldn't launch another one. Or launch into Firefox off an email link. Or open a new window if there was none open.
    So I downgraded back to 4. Problem persists.

    Uninstall the ones you know about, yes.
    As regards the others, it's difficult to say. All you can do is to disable them all via Safe Mode (checkmark "Disable all add-ons", then "Make changes and restart") and then re-enable them one by one checking each time until the problem recurs. Laborious I know, but the only sound way of doing it I'm afraid.

  • When I click on an email link it opens in the email window instead of opening a new window, how to get it to open a new window instead

    It's Comcast email, most links are to articles from the Wall Street Journal. Lately an email from Charles Schwab broker with a link to a pdf file has been doing the same. When I click on the link, it opens within the email frame, which is about 1/3 filled up with the toolbar, mailboxes, headings etc. If it opens with 2 bars on the right side to move down, I can see the whole article, but often it opens with only one bar on the right side which will not let me get all the way to the end of the page.
    It's been happening for several weeks. I got a new computer and it's still happening. Comcast sounds like they've never heard of it. Most recently happened today. I tried the same email link with IE and it opened a new window.

    Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

  • TS3276 i am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

    I am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

    A few more details might help, if nobody else recognizes this.   
    What happens when you try to open the links?
    Can you post an example of a link that doesn't work?
    Is there any particular source for the mail with the (bad) links, or is mail from all sources failing?
    If you happen to know it, what's the format of the mail message?  (Maybe the message is an image?)
    Do the embedded links work as expected from an OS X system running Mail.app, or some system and some other other mail client?
    To view the link in iOS: if you press on and hold your finger on an embedded link in most contexts, iOS will show a pop-up with the link contents, and will offer to copy it.  You can use that to acquire and post the link.  If pressing and holding on the link doesn't offer the pop-up, the format of the link itself may not be valid, or it might not really be a link.

  • Clicking email-links doesn't open "new message" window

    Hi,
    When I click email links, safari doesn't take me to the "new message" window. It activates safari: the program comes on in the dock and the text next to the apple logo changes to "mail", but I don't get the "new message" window

    You're welcome. Glad to have helped.

  • When I click email links on firefox, it won't open my AOL email client to continue, I get "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix?

    When I click email links on firefox, it opens AOL, but comes up like this.. "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix? and yeah, I know, ditch AOL and all that good stuff, but I have so many things tied into my email address that it's not in the cards atm..
    Thanks!

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • I use aol mail, and I want to change my mailto: to aol. Firefox won't let me do that. When I click on an email link in a webpage, my computer goes nuts.

    When I click on an email link on a webpage, my computer goes crazy. (Please note that links to other websites are fine.) My computer seems to want to link me to Internet Explorer, which I don't use often. The computer starts running very fast and hot. Sometimes, I get a multitude of identical error messages from Explorer, and it is often hard to delete them!
    I thought maybe I could solve this by changing my mailto: client, but there is no link for Aol. Please help!
    Thanks.
    ericasaunt
    PS: Why am I still on AOL? I still use the first email address I got many years ago. Friends and clients know my email and use it to contact me. I don't want to change it.

    Hi, cor-el,
    Thank you for responding so quickly!
    I tried to follow the instructions, but it didn't work. There are 10 mimeTypes.rdf files on my computer!
    I tried to follow the website instructions of
    Tools -> Options -> Content / File Types -> Manage
    but once I get to Content I am stuck. No Manage button. (there is nothing that says File Types)
    What do you suggest?
    Thanks again.

  • 2 issues: 1. Firefox crashes everytime I try to open QuickBooks online 2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. Please advise.

    2 issues:
    1. Firefox crashes every time I try to open QuickBooks online. I have submitted numerous crash reports.
    2. When I click an email link on a web site, it opens a blank FF browser instead of an email program. I have set the default to Microsoft Outlook and also tried changing it to Gmail. Each time I click an email link on any web site, however, it just opens up a blank page instead of one of my email programs.

    I'm not clear on where you are seeing that text. When I view Google's cached page from the page found in this search
    https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asitetrail.com%2Faskearth.com
    It doesn't match yours exactly. There is an iframe with a Google map in it in the "Hosting Analysis" section, which in your pasted page seems to be the "Site Server" section.
    Which Google site did you search?
