    set up email link from a brochure fragment

    How do you place an email link from the contact page. I have filled in all the details on the Designs Options but I would like to just have a word saying Email and when the visitor goes over it they can click and an email opens up in their browser like a normal email off a site works.
    I have tried to find someway of using the link tab in the fragment section to fill in the details but not sure where or what to put in.
    I noticed there is an email brochure button but I can't see an appropriate place to put this image in.
    Thanks

    Just putting

    <a href="mailto:me@mysite.com">Click to email us</a>

    into your Template will do that. However it's not a good idea to put such links into your web-pages as thousands of spammers will quickly find this and start bombarding you.

    Search on this Forum for obfuscate or obfuscating and you will find posts showing how to do this a bit safer.

    That's why Actinic provide a ready to use "Contact Us" page. This goes via a Perl script and contains no easy way for spammers to hervest your email address.

      I'm trying to use these invisible email links can anyone tell me where it gets its font weight etc from? I've tried changing the cell font.

      http://www.designeropticsonline.com/...g/Contact.html

      <script type=text/javascript>
      var _u = "sales";
      var _d = "domain.co.uk";
      var _l = _u + "@" + _d;
      var _m = "click to email us";
      document.write("<a href='mailto:"+_l+"'>"+_m+"</a>");
      </script>

      Plus what do I need to change so I can use it on an image?
      Cheers

        Image: replace "click to email us" with '<img src="mybutton.gif">'
        You may need to upload the image via Advanced / Additional Files

        Link style: Add a class subtag after the anchor <a class='myclass' href= ...
        and add your style to Actinic.css
