Creating a Mailto: Link

Another type of link is a 

mailto: link

, which is used to link text or an image to 

an e mail address. When the link is activated, if the browser preferences are 

properly configured, the user will be prompted to compose an e mail message 

to be sent to the e mail address specified in the mailto: link. This helps users 

easily contact the webmaster or site owner.

If an e mail address is properly formatted when typed, FrontPage will auto 

matically make it a mailto: link.

Let's see how this works.

1.

To enter the last line of the footer, type:

Comments: isar@example.org  

The e mail address is automatically formatted as a mailto: link.

NOTE: When you create text in your Web pages that look like links, e.g. 

HTTP addresses or e mail addresses, FrontPage will often automati 

cally change these into live links.

2.

Save 

index.htm

.

Creating Another Web Page

Now we want to create another Web page. Instead of entering content, we'll 

see how to insert text from an existing Word document called 

filler.rtf

. We'll 

create an unordered list and use a heading style to format the text. 

Let's begin by creating a new page.

To create a new page, on the Standard toolbar,

You see a new blank page.

Let's save the file.
