Good health to all!
Recently noticed (I haven't used it for a long time) that the tag

<a href="mailto:onvillage@grandfather.ru">отправить письмо</a>

in modern browsers disabled (Opera, Chrome).
How to win it? Without resorting to PHP (as business cards sites, without PHP)

  • I have three modern browsers. In all works. What am I doing wrong? - mantigatos
  • Show the browser where it turned off? - kandi
  • Chrome furiously - kandi
  • In the TS, it seems either some kind of plugin is blocking, or something else. - lampa

Google Chrome may be trying to handle mailto: via GMail. If you don't use Chrome's GMail, he doesn't know what to do. See chrome://settings/handlers - GMail . Under my Mac OS X 10.8.2 , Chrome 24.0.1312.56 opens the standard mail application Mail . All default settings.

In general, it can only be in the browser settings, and the webmaster can do nothing about it. If only try to catch a negative return with a click on mailto: and as an alternative to offer a form arr. communication.

  • The feedback form is good, but hosting is free (bare HTML) - I_CaR
  • Heroku - here for example. cloud platform, where you can raise an application for PHP with a bunch of buns like a database, memcached, etc. - as part of a free rate. If the site is not wildly visited, the power is enough for the eyes. - Sergiks

It turns out that by default in Windows 7 there is no email client, as it was in XP OutLook Express (somehow it was called so).
The demolition of The Bat and the installation of Windows Live Mail improved the situation a bit.
But as always ... It's Windows !!!
The charset = Windows-1251 encoding does not perceive its own (!!!) in the code:

 <a href="mailto:zlaya@vbudke.tut?subject=письмо%20бла-бла-бла%20с%20сайта&Body=Здравствуйте.%0D%0AХочу%20заказать%20у%20Вас%20тыры-пыры%20трали-вали%20%22Наименование%22.%20В%20количестве%20(%20)шт.%20Мои%20контакты:" target="_self">

Anyway. The affair has moved from the dead center ...
I apologize for this application (a href), but the client wants free (or rather can not afford paid) hosting.
PS How is it all the "easier" to become with the new Windows;)

    Everything is pretty simple corny! In Windows, with some kind of fright, the default program settings are lost, add the "mail" application or outlook as the default application Control Panel -> Programs -> Set default programs. From the list, select the program for working with mail, after that the mailto will work.
