Place cursor in specific place with mailto link?

[thespursfan]

Hello. I have a mailto link that populates the body of an email and I would like the cursor to automatically be placed two lines below the body copy.

For example, this link

<a href=test@test.com?subject=Test Subject&body=TO: Test Person %0D 123 Test st. %0D United States>email us</a>

will produce something like this in the new email composition:

TO: Test Person
123 Test st.
United States

How can I get the cursor to be two lines below United States, so people can start typing their email there?

Can this be accomlished with php or javascript easily?

I am using outlook, and the majority of my users who will click this link will be using outlook also, if that helps.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I doubt that very much, especially if the user has an external email client.
Besides, you have syntax errors in your markup. The href attribute value must be quoted since it contains non-alphanumeric characters and the & character must be escaped as &.

Ok, thank you for the help. I was just using that as an example. In a real page, I would have made sure it was valid.

Don't know if you're still looking for a solution to this, but I'll give you one anyway. Simply insert %0D wherever you want a carriage return in the message body of a mailto link. It will do exactly what you are looking for.
