Module 1: HTML Basics
Creating E-mail Links
Any time you author an HTML document, it's always a good idea to include a link to you, the author of the page. This allows users to contact you as well as provide a sense of credibility and authority to the information that you provide through the Web.
Creating an e-mail link is simple, and it looks like this:
Send e-mail to: lis-web@hawaii.edu
The code for this e-mail link looks like this:
Send e-mail to: <a href="mailto:lis-web@hawaii.edu">
lis-web@hawaii.edu</a>
All e-mail links use this form: href="mailto:yourname@email.address"
Cautionary: Email spam is sometimes generated by a webcrawler looking for email address links on webpages; some sites make their email address into an image, to prevent possible spam.
