Create dynamic e-mail link

[Briyun]

I've designed an intranet site for my employer using UltraDev4 connecting to a SQL 2000 server. I'm familiar with most design programs and HTML, but for the life of me I can't find any documentation on how to create a dynamic e-mail link.

When our employees view the detail pages of our clients, I'd like the client e-mail to be a mailto link (without the data-entry person having to make it such). Basically, afetr the e-mail text is entered, when the details of that client are viewed, I'd like the e-mail address to become a link.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

howsa about:

<a href=mailto:qball@sysopt.com>Click to email me</a>

I've got mailto's down. What I'm trying to do is to take text entered and covert it dynamically via asp when the text is viewed in a results page. Thia is what I've done since I posted:

<a href="mailto:<%=(detailcand.Fields.Item("Email").Value)%>">E-Mail</a>

The mailto question I had was in regard to whether the ASP would still function


Thanks

iffin:

%=(detailcand.Fields.Item("Email").Value)%

returns:

"qball@sysopt.com" (not valid email) or valid email, then ASP will generate the mailto link.
