email url button

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 16.2004

I am making a ’email this URL’ button on a fairly simple html site.
Is there a way using html or javascript to have the url automaticaly be filled in in the subject line or content of the email. There are hundres of pages to this site so I dont want to have to type out the url each time. Is there a ‘theURL’ function perhaps.
Thanks!
