I need to add a "Send this page to a friend" link to a site... Is there a quick & easy way? Thanks!

I would think this requires some type of (server side?) script. If I wanted to find out how it's done, I would go to an existing page that has this feature, open the page in my WYSIWYG editor, highlight the link and then look at the underlying code.

This question should have come under javascript section!!

Any way here is the code try it out !!

<html>
<head>
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='../js/css/shn.css'>
<script language='JavaScript' src='../js/js/shn.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script language="javascript">
function validate()
{
if (document.form.eaddress.value=="")
{
alert("Cannot leave blank...Enter email address");
document.form.eaddress.focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}

function mailThisUrl()
{
if (validate())
{
mail = "mailto:" + document.form.eaddress.value + '?subject=This Web Site might interest you!!!';
mail += "&body=" + "http://www.websitename.com";
location.href = mail;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<font class="shnText">Recommend This Web Site to a friend!</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<font class="shnText">Type in Recipient's e-mail address</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="eaddress" value="" size="25">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<input type="button" class="buttonSHN" value="Send" onClick="mailThisUrl();">
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Change the website name accordingly & a validation for email address inf necessary. You just have to enter friends email address/s & click send to open email box.

Hi,

This thread refers to some css and js files:<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='../js/css/shn.css'>
<script language='JavaScript' src='../js/js/shn.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
Where can I get copies of these files, and are they available for general use, please?

Adrian
