problem with java script mailto hyperlink
i am using a java script with a mailto hyper link so that the e-mail box that comes up has a predetermined body. i am using the java script because i need a farely long body. the only problem is.. the body i need it too long. it works fine if i shorten it.. but it gives me errors when i get it as long as it need it to be.
thanks in advance for any help
This is the script i am using.. it works fine like this but if i change the 'Body of E-mail' messages to anything longer than that i get the errors.
Give me what I want, and I'll go away!

You may need to add your own form. Put this code somewhere on your web page:
<form name="email" action="mailto:" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="subject">
<input type="hidden" name="body">
</form>
And below the marker // BUILD MAIL MESSAGE COMPONENTS
put this code instead:
// BUILD MAIL MESSAGE COMPONENTSvar e = document.email;
e.action = "mailto:" + to;
e.subject.value = subject;
e.body.value = body;
// POP UP EMAIL MESSAGE WINDOW
e.submit();

Thanks, but I don't think thats gonna do what i need it to do. I can't send it through i form because when the e-mail message pops up they need to be able to attach a file to it.
The actual problem i am having is when i add to many body lines i start to get an "invalid pointer" error.

Try putting this code within the form lines I gave you:
<input type="file" name="attach">This will give a box with a Browse button, and users should be able to attach a file with it.
