e-mailing a page with a simple click?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 26.2003

I’m not really good at javascript and would like to know if there’s a simple way to create a link at the bottom of a page which when clicked open a pop-up to enter the e-mail adress to send the page to?

To be clearer, I’d like to have a “send this page to a friend” link at the bottom of certain pages that will open a pop-up with a field for the e-mail adress the person who clicked wants the page to be mailed…

?

I’m really clueless

It could also be done this way: when clicked the link opens the visitors’ mail system, a little bit like [i]href=”mailto:XXXX@XXX”[/i] does, but with the page as attachment or as body of the mail…?

Let me know if you know the way! I’m really a newbie so I’ll need details…

@ShampieAug 27.2003 — what kind of page do you wish to send? (like the commercial emailsbring there pages forward?)

besides if this page is used to spam ppl it will not be appreaciated!

After editing the page to create their handout, I'd like them to be able to send said page to their players...

There's no spamming issue ?

@nashauthorAug 27.2003 — It's not really what I'm looking for...

What I'd like is a link on the same page that will be printed that when clicked opens a prompt box to type the e-mail adress and when OK is clicked the full page is sent via mail...

The RPG is Delta Green (Call of Cthulhu)...

Take a look to the bottom of [url=http://www.geocities.com/nash_sw2001/green/newsclip.html]this page[/url] it might help you understand what I want...

I'd like that when somebody clicks on [FONT=courier new](F)ORWARD[/FONT] , it'd actually work! ? Just like clicking on [FONT=courier new](P)RINT[/FONT] actually prints the page...

This page is only a "beta version", the final one will be framed (hence the "next page" option)?

I also plan to put the little "typewriter script" on another page (an "intro") which will auto-redirect to the content page once the script is executed...
