What is all this?
Is all these numbers necessary?
 
This bit of code is generated by DNN as a E-mail address link.
 
The big problem is that it opens a blank Browser window with only this string in it:
mailto:grapevinetours@hotmail.com?subject=Tour Request
 
It does open the Outlook window correctly with E-mail and subject.
How can I stop the change of browser window?
 
 
<div><span style="color: #003300"><span style="font-size: small"><span>Email;&#160;&#160;<a href=" location.href='mailto:'+String.fromCharCode(103,114,97,112,101,118,105,110,101,116,111,117,114,115,64,104,111,116,109,97,105,108,46,99,111,109)+'?subject=Tour%20Request'">Pat@GrapevineTours.com.au</a></span></span></span></div>
 
Same in IE7, IE6 and Firefox.
 
 
Cheers

The numbers stop spammers from copying your email and sending you 1 million emails every day...  as for why it opens in a new window, I dont know, it shouldnt.  It doesnt have a target="_blank" which what normally causes a new window.

I have the same problem regarding the opening of a blank browser window.

Any solution?

JK is correct about the encoding. 

The blank window issue was reported, but was closed.  The FCK provider project team felt that the problem was within the FCK editor itself and thereby not in scope.  Read more here.  I have not looked to see if this is a known issue on the FCK side of the universe.

As a workaround, the "link" toolbar button with type e-mail works properly (though, as I recall, it is not encoded).

Hope this clarifies things!

I found a work-around.

Manually edit the text/HTML and add target="noFrame" to the mailto link. Then after the link add this:

<iframe name="noFrame" frameborder="0" width="1" scrolling="no" height="1" style="visibility: hidden"></iframe>

It redirects the link to the invisble <IFRAME>, so the page doesn't change.

I found the answer here: http://jamesthornton.com/software/redirect-mailto.html, where the author states: "Upon a mailto: redirect, IE 5.5+ and Mozilla 5.0+ browsers may change the browser window to a blank page as it opens the e-mail software." So it sounds like it's a browser problem.
