I got an email saying that my mailto button wasn't working on Win8.
<input onclick="open('mailto:info@example.com?subject='+document.getElementById('subject').value,'_self');" type="button" id="btn" value="Email Me">
I'm wondering what kind of browser support exists for the 'mailto:' href. Furthermore, since I am triggering this via javascript, could a 'triggered' method be breaking this in windows8?
Looking at the References section of the Wikipedia article on the mailto URI scheme, I see that mailto was defined in RFC 2368, which was published in July 1998. The spec was also updated in RFC 6068 in October 2010. Since mailto has been defined for so long, and I've never personally seen a modern computer that it doesn't work on, it probably has global support by now.
