Hi, I looked around the web trying to gain knowledge on how to create a hyperlink in an email. I found this:
<A HREF="http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com">This will
take you to Webdevelopersnotes.com's main page</A>But it doesn't seem to work - I am trying to send it through hotmail - anyone know of and or know why this html doesnt work?

Usually if you write the HTML, view it in the form of a webpage in your browser, and then simply select and copy and paste the content from your browser, it will work.
- Yeah its weird.. I thought the same. But when I test it out.. it doesn't work? it just comes up as the same text I copied and pasted?dubblebubble

two things -
1) make the a href lowercase
2) Just writing it won't work, you should write the "This will
take you to Webdevelopersnotes.com's main page" bit and highlight it and click the insert hyperlink button (not sure if hotmail has it, but gmails is like a blue chain link, like a sideways 8 sort of)

You can either send a plain text email or an HTML email.
In any case, most email clients automatically convert links to clickable URLs. Just send the address.

This is what I found online... which doesn't seem to work... arg!
Using this feature, users can create a link to send email to a specific email address. The page will automatically pick the application like Outlook Express as default, for example, to send and received email. In addition, you can create a clipart hyperlink by using icon, animated graphic ... instead of using text.
Example of code line:
<A HREF="mailto:professorname@departmentwebsite.edu?subject=">Question for professor!</A>

There is no need for the <A HREF=""> or </a>
Just use:
http://www.webdevelopersnotes.co…
professorname@departmentwebsite...
