What's covered?How to enable your users to email someone with a link to a topic in the help. There are two methods, one creates the email from a text link while the other creates it from a graphic. The methods work in RoboHelp but are not dependent on any RoboHelp functionality. In other words they will work from any web page. Thanks to Roger Nilsson for writing the scripts. They both work in IE6 and Firefox. |

Change the variables and the "mailto" details to provide the text you want users to see in the email.
