Drop Down Mailto Menu

T his is a great little twist to the drop down menu. Instead of choosing a page to link to, you can choose an email address and it will open up your default email server to send the email.

W e have tested the code in IE5.5, IE6, Netscape4.08 and Netscape7.0. This script worked well in all platforms tested with no variations observed.

I f your site deals with a club, organization, community etc. and want your members to email an individual member or send to all on the list, this script will do it for you. There is no limit to the amount of email addresses you can add. This drop down menu also takes up very little space as you can see on the page so it is not in the way of anything.

D epending on your knowledge of HTML and java scripts, this is an easy one part copy and paste code. It is pasted into the <BODY> section of your document where you want it to appear. Below you will see howto add addresses and copy the code to add to your pages.

<script language="javaScript">
function Linkup()
{
var number = document.email.Consigliere.selectedIndex;
location.href = document.email.Consigliere.options[number].value;
}
</script>
<form name="email">
<Select name="Consigliere" onChange="Linkup(this.form)">
<OPTION SELECTED>Select Name To Email
<option value="mailto:Email Address Here">Name Here
<option value="mailto:Email Address Here">Name Here
<option value="mailto:Email Address,Email Address,Email Address">Mail To List

</select>
</form>

A s you can notice within the configurations, each <option value= other that the last has one address in it and one name. To add more names, just follow the pattern. The last <option value= works just like any other email service by adding as many addresses as you need, separated by a comma, no space between addresses with no comma after the last address entered. You do not have to have the "Mail To List" at the bottom, this can be in any position of your choosing.

I f you would like to add this effect to your pages, just copy and paste the below code. If you do have any problems with this, feel free to contact us.
