< a href = "$sendmail" >Email this page to myself < /a >


with in php : $sendmail = "mailto:$myemail?subject=$title&body=$url";
with $myemail a way of inputting the email address of the websurfer and $title the //html/title element and $url the self URL of the webpage ?

I don't know if it works.

but the best thing is to have the email sent by the webserver and not by the email client.
a simple form with an input field to type one's email address.

With Javascript you could probably write out the link dynamically; something like:

document.write( '<a href="mailto:myself@me.com?title=PageAddress&amp;body=' + escape( window.location ) + '">Email this page to myself</a>' );

I haven't tried it but in theory it should be possible.

Thx 4 the reply but am not using any PHP in my web application... am using a Java appliaction with xml and JSP...i need to call this Email to myself in xml file.

[prax83]

document.write( '<a href="mailto:myself@me.com?title=PageAddress&amp;body=' + escape( window.location ) + '">Email this page to myself</a>' );

I tried something like this but am not able to add the URL of the page 

current Senerio,

When the html page is loaded I am providing a link called Email this page to myself in the xml file. when the user clicks the link I can call a javascript......but dont know how to add the current page URL and send through email.

whether "myself@me.com" will get the mobile owner email ID? or it will send a mail to "myself@me.com".

The "myself@me.com" in my code was just a placeholder. You're supposed to replace that with the actual email address. Two questions:

1. Who is this email going to? To you (i.e. the author of the webpage) or to the user who is viewing the page? It's not clear from your questions as the "myself" is ambiguous.

2. What's the deal with the XML file? You've mentioned it twice but I have no idea what you're trying to do with XML.

ok let me clear ur doubts..

1) email to myself is nothing but users email id who are going to use my application...suppose there are 10 different users who are using my application in their own BB then email to myself should  get those users email id in their own blackberry mobile.

2)we are pulling data into XML file and transfering into html file with the help of jsp file. So the code is mostley handeled by XML. So any thing we need to code should be placed in XML file or Jsp to some extent. Am I clear to you.

[staktrace]

Thanks, that does answer my questions.

As for what you're trying to do, I don't know of any way to obtain the e-mail address of the user viewing the page. You definitely won't be able to access the email address directly, since that would be a privacy hole. There is also not to my knowledge a generic way to say "email owner of this device".

ok forget about the email address of a mobile user since its a security issue .... but is there any way I can call the inbulit email option so that I can send mail to any one by typing the email address and also to attach the visited page url ???
