How to Code Email in HTML

Enable email on your site with HTML links.

The HTML tag set includes coding that enables your Web pages to display email address links. Email links are a good way to keep in contact with your website users. Many Internet users use email clients such as Outlook to send and receive email. An email link will open this client with the address field for the email already filled in.

Instructions

1. Launch your HTML or text editor and scroll to the location for the link.

2. Type the link text and surround it with the link tag, this is the text that will display for your user to click.

   <a href="mailto:[e-mail]>Contact Webmaster</a>

   The "mailto" attribute takes an email address as a value.

3. Save your file and access it in a Web browser to test it.
