okay -- i went to this site http://www.the-landscape-design-site.com/ and they of course have a bookmark this page link --- so i did and it. and when i did it prompted me to opt for thier emai list and automatically asked if i wanted to send an email to recieve thier newsletter. and it automatically sent an email without opening my Outlook program.

does anyone know how to do this? i looked at the source code and couldnt find anything but the link to join the newletter.

the other thing i want to know is there a way to intergrate that into a flash web site?


thanks

Check the source again - you'll see there is a javascript file included on the page

location =

http://www.the-landscape-design-site.com/optinautomator.js

Open that it's got the source code - it basically runs

document.mailer.subscribe.click();

which is the mailer button on the form.

This then uses
mailto:x@y.com (x@y.com) (whatever the address may be) to send info
