Letting Users Send E-mail to You

You can let users who view your Web page send you an e-mail message quickly and easily by simply clicking a link on your page. You can use any text or graphic as the link. When users click the link, their browsers will automatically create a new e-mail message addressed to you -- all they have to do is type the message and send!

To create a link that lets users send you e-mail, follow these instructions:

  1. Open Claris Home Page, if it's not already open.
  2. Open the page to which you want to add an e-mail link.
  3. Choose Edit Page from the Window menu.
  4. Select the text or graphic that you want to use as the e-mail link.
  5. Choose Link to URL from the Insert menu.
  6. In the Link Editor window, type "mailto:<myEmailAddress>" in the URL field, substituting your e-mail address for <myEmailAddress>. (Do not type the angle brackets or the quotation marks.) Then press Return.
  7. Choose Save from the File menu.
  8. Choose Preview in Browser from the File menu.
  9. When your page appears in the browser, click the new link to test it.
