Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Luis Estraca and I'm a software developer. In this clip I will show you how to add an E-mail link with a Subject Line to a Web Page. E-mail links are very useful because they automatically open our default mail manager providing the address and the topic of the e-mail. To create a e-mail link write an opening and closing anchor tags. Then in the h ref parameter write mail to semicolon and the e-mail address. Inside the tags add the text that will work as the link. Save the page and refresh the browser. When you position your mouse arrow on top of the link you will see that the browser displays the address associated with this link at the bottom part. If you click on this it will open whatever default mail manager you have installed. In my case it is the outlook program. If we want to include the subject on the link all we do is add a question mark followed by the subject. Type subject equals this is a test. Save the file. Refresh the browser and not click on the link. Now you have your program ready to send an e-mail. I'm Luis Estraca and I've just shown you how to create web pages using HTML."
