What is all this?

Is all these numbers necessary?

 

This bit of code is generated by DNN as a E-mail address link.

 

The big problem is that it opens a blank Browser window with only this string in it:

mailto:ersonName w:st="on">grapevinetours@hotmail.comersonName>?subject=Tour Request

 

It also open the Outlook window correctly with E-mail and subject.

How can I stop the change of browser window?

 

 

 

Same in IE7, IE6 and Firefox.

Olle….

I just tested in 4.9 - are you in 4.9 or 4.8.4?

4.9 works ok.

In 4.9, I noticed that it is now using a JavaScript function for opening the e-mail client, this is to prevent spam bots from picking up your e-mail address, however if you wish to avoid this you can create a link which uses:

< a href="mailto:lee@lee.com?subject=test%20subject&body=test%20body" >the link < /a>

(remove the spaces around the tags)

Hi Lee

 

Yes the code you provided works fine – thanx – but I can see that it easily collected by the spiders and other spammer tools.
(It is 4.9 I’m playing with.)

 

But I forgot to paste the code in my first post, so here it is:

(Some "<" and ">" removed to prevent this editor to convert the code.)
 

Code generated through the Link creation in DNN / FCK editor.

“”””p style="text-align: center"a href="javascript:location.href='mailto:'+String.fromCharCode(112,97,116,64,115,101,113,103,114,97,112,101,118,105,110,101,116,111,117,114,115,46,99,111,109,46,97,117)+'?subject=From%20Grapevine%20Tours'">pat (a) seqgrapevinetours.com.au/a/p””””””

 

This was the “numbers” I was querying about.

 

Now I tested to just type in a complete – and correct – E-mail address, allowing DNN to automatically generate the “mailto – link – code”. It looks like this.

 

“””p align="center"a href="mailto:Greaves@elsieshightea2u.com">Greaves@elsieshightea2u.com/a/p

This code does not open an extra browser window.

 

So, creating a Mailto link in the editor creates the above strange code, and it opens an extra browser window when clicked.

 

The last code is generated automatically and works fine??

 

Why the different codes???

 

Cheers

 

Olle..

 

not sure how to stop the extra window opening, all those codes are there so the spam bots can not read your email. Your other option is to enter your email direct and get picked up by spam bots but dont have the extra widow open.
