Q&A for How to Create an Email Link in HTML

If you have Cpanel you can go to the "Email Accounts" and click on the "Create" button (generally on the right) and create whatever name@yourwebsite.com you want. After you have created the email address, go to softaculous Apps (in Cpanel), then go to "Customer Support" and download one of the help desk apps. Direct the messages to the set email.

HTML is a markup language that doesn't require any special download since the tools needed are already installed on your computer, e.g notepad, notepad++, etc. But you might consider getting more advanced and flexible software to run your codes in real-time, those includes sublime text, brackets, atom, vs code, etc.

Highlight the text you want to link, click the link icon, and select "Email" from the drop-down. (Optional) Edit the text you want to display as the link. Enter the email address you want contacts to send to in the Email address field. Click Insert. Click Done.

To create a Mailto link, you need to use the HTML <a> tag with its href attribute, and insert a "mailto:" parameter after it, like the following: If you want to have a subject field, which is already filled out, add the “subject” parameter to the href attribute.

It's allowing for a list, i.e. when you write an email in the address box you enter the receiver's email address, it then shows after it to allow another email address to be written.

For this, you will need to use JavaScript. Say this is your HTML: " Send Email " Then, this should be your JavaScript: "var email = document.getElemenById("text").value; document.gotElementById("link").href = ""mailto:" + email;" This code finds the text input, gets its value, and stores it in variable. Then, it finds the anchor tag and sets it href value to variable.
