HTML Email Codes

This page provides you with the HTML code for creating an email link on your website. You can copy/paste this code on to your own website and change the email address and subject line.

You create an email link by using the 'a' (anchor) tag. The thing that distinguishes this as an email link is the value of the 'href' attribute. To make an email link, this value should start with 'mailto:', followed by the email address.

<a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com">Email Someone</a>

The above HTML code results in:

Email Someone

Adding A Subject Line

You can automatically populate the subject line by adding the 'subject' parameter:


<a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com?subject=Hello there!">Email Someone</a>

The above HTML code results in:
