I've done this before with ASP, you'll have to make a reference to the Outlook object, I can't remember the exact name offhand. Once you've made the reference and created the Outlook object you can access it like any other object via commands like Outlook.To, Outlook.Subject etc..
The problem I had is everytime I called the object to start Outlook I would always get that stupid ActiveX message about an external program is trying to open blah blah blah. It worked but that message was annoying.
I don't think using the Outlook object on the Internet is a good idea since there are to many variables but it is viable for an Intranet site.

I dont think this can be done with javascript. You can probably do it in ASP using ActiveX. Try posting in the Misc. Scripting Languages forum.
