E-Mailing from an NJX page

, , ,
1

Hi,
I am trying to send a simple e-mail from an NJX page.
My idea is to use a link ‘mailto:e.mail@test.be?subject=TEST’.
So far I have tryed to use the controls with a link defined at runtime (the address and subject are dynamic :slight_smile: ).
TRIAL 1:
NJX:DOCUMENTLINK the purpose of this is open a document so this is not Ideal.
Result:
it opens my outlook mail form but I get alse a message

LINKDOCUMENT := "mailto:j.va@telenet.be?subject=TEST"

error: object doesn’t support this method or property on
URL : http://localhost:8080/cisnatural/HTMLBasedGUI/general/SUBPAGEControls.js
TRIAL 2:
A Subpage in combination with a button
I construct the url of the subpage in the event of the button and execute a process page update full.

SUBPAGEURL := "mailto:j.va@telenet.be?subject=TEST"

Result:
The Outlook mail form is showed but when I close it the page is not responsive and I got an eternal hourglass
TRIAL 3:
iHTML
I construct the html link in natural :

LINKMAILIHTML := "<a href=’mailto:j.va@telenet.be’>Email Me!</a>"

Result:
An error page is shown

In development mode certain files (e.g. for directory HTMLBasedGUI) are stored in a central directory - and accessed through this servlet program.Consequence: certain files are not part of every development project instance but are kept centrally for all projects.

The URL you want to address is not available in the file system.

Query = /leUI/%E2%80%99mailto:j.va@telenet.be%E2%80%99
Could not find matching file in = D:/Projects/DIeteren/Workplace/DIeteren/.naturalone/apache-tomcat/webapps/cisnatural/../../../../DIeteren/User-Interface-Components/

Can someone tell me how to proceed? Or tell me how this is usually done?

Thanks,

Hi Jan,

I recommend the IHTML control:
The njxdemos contain an IHTML sample: IHTML-P.
I simply adapted this example in the following way:

COMPRESS ‘…to me…’ INTO CONTENTOFCONTROL

This worked perfectly in my environment.

Maybe you had some “left-overs” from TRIAL2 in your layout when you tried TRIAL 3?

Best Regards,
Christine
