Is it possible to implement mailto: function on submit button like <input type=submit />

  • 0

Is it possible to implement mailto: function on submit button like <input type="submit" />? I use ASP.NET MVC. Maybe there is some tricky controller action result to achieve this. Could you please help me?

P.S. I know that I can make anchor looks like a button.

    In HTML you can specify a mailto: address in the <form> element’s [action] attribute.

    <form action="mailto:youraddr@domain.tld" method="GET">
    <input name="subject" type="text" />
    <textarea name="body"></textarea>
    <input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

    What this will do is allow the user’s email client to create an email prepopulated with the fields in the <form>.

    What this will not do is send an email.
