Hi,
This link will redirect to a page named sendMail.php with the current url. You need to use a server side language to actually send the mail.
HTML Code:
<a href="#" onclick="location.href='sendMail.php?url='+location.href;" > Send to a friend</a>
O.K., I quickly copied this from one that I use. See how it works for you.
Code:

In the page you want to call it from, place this in the head section:
Code:
function newWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,features) {
if(screen.width){
var winl = (screen.width-w)/2;
var wint = (screen.height-h)/2;
}else{winl = 0;wint =0;}
if (winl < 0) winl = 0;
if (wint < 0) wint = 0;
var settings = 'height=' + h + ',';
settings += 'width=' + w + ',';
settings += 'top=' + wint + ',';
settings += 'left=' + winl + ',';
settings += features;
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
win.window.focus();
}
Then call it with:
Code:
<a href="javascript
