I know you are out there...

I have recently decided to learn web design, and it is quickly becoming my new obsession. :)

I am having a problem with this command in xhtml:

a href=mailto:anybody@anywhere.com (anybody@anywhere.com)

It opens the email program just like it is supposed to, but it also opens a blank browser page. How can I stop this from happening?

Thanks!

You example link is working fine for me.

<a href="mailto:anybody@anywhere.com">email me</a> should do the trick.

Not to complicate things, but an email form or just text of your email w/o the hyperlink is generally a better idea. Spambots LOVE the mailto links.

Thank you - I like your idea about the email form. I am this moment learning about creating forms. What information would you request on an email form (place for sender's email and message, etc.,)
