Webmaster Forum / Flash / General Flash Topics / March 2006Mailto: opening blank window
I've read a few postings here on this. One says put a "_blank" in the mailto: command. Someone else says take it out. Either way I get a browser window. Any additional suggestions? Thanks! "_blank" is an HTML or AS command to open a new browser window. Leave off the _blank, but check in your browser for your default mail settings. Also, check out this http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=194&thre adid=848795&highlight_key=y&keyword1=mailto. i've never heard of using "_blank" . what platform are you using? what OS? What browser? What mail client? I'm having the same problem. Wether I enter _blank or 'none' or leave the filed empty, each time the user clicks on the e-mail link a blank browser window opens up along with the Miail app. How do I set it up so just the mail app opens alone? Any help much appreciated. OSX, Flash8, Safari, Mail. Also WinXP Flash 6, IE6, Outlook > I'm having the same problem. > Wether I enter _blank or 'none' or leave the filed empty, each time the user [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > OSX, Flash8, Safari, Mail. Also WinXP Flash 6, IE6, Outlook Honestly, it's bad practice to use mailto: at all. It assumes to much. What if the person visiting the site is in a cybercafe? Clicking mailto: wont work! Mailto: triggers a mail application, and assumes there is a mail application (such as outlook) to be loaded in the first place. Don't ever assume what you user has installed. Provide a mail form instead and ahve your web server handle sending an email Don't use "_blank" unless you want to open a new browser window. Your code should be: on (release) { getURL("mailto:myemail@domain.com"); } I agree that removing the "_blank" fixes the blank browser window. I can not find a way to do this however when using a mailto: link for a section of dynamic text. You do not have a choice to not include a target when creating a link this way. Has anyone else seen this? Anyone with a fix? Thanks. Another option could be to set "_self" as target. Theoretically when browser try to open the mailto: in the same window should open the mail client and would not lose the current location. |
