h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*looks over her shoulder*
Are you auditioning?
*writes down Heineken on her beer list*

I'm not sure if Lil's question is aimed at me. My misspelling of the word AN as AM could be taken as an audition or even a plea to be reincarnated as a bottle of plonk.

How do I format [email protected] so that you click on it and that opens an email window?

That's OK about the typo. I am still uncertain whether DD wants platers or players in the new bond movie, per a recent post at the cafe.

Take lots of sunblock if yu're going to be in that cast. The first scenes are being played out in Persepolis, and I saw a trailer that says it's headed to Oahu sooner or later.

The syntax you're looking for is the address with a mailto:// in front of it. Well, not too sure about the punctuation after the mailto off the top of my head, but it IS prefaced with a mailto.

Here is it: mailto:[email protected]

Months ago I asked Bruce the same question about email links. Alas, I forget the answer. I will check out some of his older posts and see if I can find it.

Apparently, this trick doesn't work in a text forum. I guess it doesn't pick up this bit of text as it does a hyperlink. Oh well. If you wanted to do it elsewhere, like on a guide page, you can... just stick that bit of code I posted above in an anchor tag, like this:

Crosswinds deleted my website... one that I took a lot of time on... one with a lot of graphics that I didn't back up.

I hope their raids burst into flames and consume the nearest 5 floors in a blazing wall of heat and smite

So the full address Lil wants would be? Or am I wrong?

Sporky commiserations mate. Did they give you a reason?

Nope. You're missing an opening quote.

Colonel Sellers the pedantic.

And of course you already know this, but it has to work just like a regular tag, so the whole thing would look like this:

Clickable text written here

I was coming back here to correct YOU after I sussed that the closing A tag was missing. It works, thank you.

I am going to have to do a lot better than 20 pieces in a day here, with this puzzle. But that will involve spending more time here.

Rebuke accepted. Next time I offer help, I will remember not to assume that you know how to operate a simple anchor tag.

More time? Lil, I have put the mailing list link up on my page as well.

FLAP!

don't get up.

Looks like all the talk was here last night (UK time).
Anyway back for another wonderful week at work after a rather tiring weekend helping some friends move house.
