Mailto: Body formatting


Possible Duplicate:
mailto link multiple body lines

Just a quick question. I am creating a website for a charity and they have a section on the site where people can give some suggestions for how they could raise more money for their cause. Their site is just plain HTML, JS and CSS to keep it light-weight. I added a mailto: that will allow people to send them an e-mail, but they would like some more information like their name and their contact details. I want to know if there is a way to format the body so that there are new lines:

name: 
email:
tel:
postal address:

thank you!

Here is what my mailto looks like now. any help or suggestions are welcome:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Suggestions&body=Your%20suggestions%20are%20really%20important%20to%20us%20,thanks!">Send suggestions!</a>

Solution

  • Use %0D%0A for a line break in your body

    Example (Demo):

    <a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Suggestions&body=name:%0D%0Aemail:">test</a>​
                                                                      ^^^^^^
