mailto links on page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 16.2004

I am desperate for some help here! I have set up an intranet for my firm, and included various mailto links on different pages all over the site. However since going live with the site, these links don’t work for numerous users around the office. They get the following error:
“Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed”
We use Outlook 2000 and the default settings on the network are set as such, it appears to be a pc thing – is it a registry setting? Has anyone else come accross this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

@davidbrentSep 16.2004 — This problem has not arisen from your code. This is a problem with your default mail setiting and the connection between your browser and youor mail client.

I presume you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer. The settings can be chosen on Tools > Internet Options > Programs and just browse that.

As sharkey said about server side mail scripting this is another possibility and easy to implement but maybe your business prefers to use a standard email rather than a server side script sent message..
