Links for E-mail
This is the method used to create an e-mail link within an HTML document:
<a href="mailto:recipient@bu.edu">Send us mail</a>
The e-mail address of the recipient is located within the HTML code after “mailto:” — use the complete e-mail address. The code will invoke the browser’s default e-mail application and automatically place the enclosed e-mail address in the “to:” field.
Any text description (or image) can be placed between the <a href="mailto:recipient@bu.edu"> and </a> tags. Clicking on that text or image will then launch the e-mail application.
You can specify multiple e-mail addresses in an e-mail link by separating them with commas. Example: <a href="mailto:recipient1@bu.edu,recipient2@bu.edu,recipient3@bu.edu">.
CODE EXAMPLE:
If you find a broken link, please <a href="mailto:recipient@bu.edu">send e-mail</a> and we'll fix it as soon as possible.
RESULT:
If you find a broken link, please send e-mail and we’ll fix it as soon as possible.
