In the "contact us" portion of our website, my boss would like me to have an "email us" link that opens up a blank email from the user's Microsoft Outlook with our email address in it. Is there a way to do this in VSD?

Thanks!

The link would be in this format
<a href="mailto:me@mysite.com">Contct Us</a>

Keep in mind that the email will sit in the client outbox until it is instructed to send the email. It's not automatic like form mail being sent from the server.

Also remember not everyone has an e-mail client installed, so that link will not work for everyone.
