Hi, I have built a site using xhtml trans.1 and css and it includes an email link like this,
<td width="241">&nbsp;<a href="mailto:www.customers ">Send us an email</a></td> I have used this before successfully. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working or give suggestions on how to make it work. My client isn't very happy right now.
Thank you,
Doug H.

Hi Doug,

In your example there is a space after the e-mail address! How about your live site?
If this is not it, please post a link to a page were the issue appears.

Kind regards, Patrick

Hi Doug,

Check your code again. The link contains a combination of a URL and an e-mail address!
mailto:http://www.yachtstuff@aol.com

This should either be (for a URL)
http://www.yachtstuff.com

or (for an e-mail link)
mailto:yachtstuff@aol.com


Kind regards, Patrick
