mailto: feature and web browser window

Good Afternoon, Beth.

I don't see a way to avoid the secondary browser window right now, although we always welcome new Feature Requests.

Good luck with your project!

Thank you Justin.

Can you think of any other way I could possibly do this, so the window doesn't appear? java script? or some "trick"?

Hi, Beth.

I'm not aware of another method, although there may be others in the community who are.

Here's some javascript that will close the extra window. The relevant lines are the last two:

var player = GetPlayer();
var email=player.GetVar("email");
var subject="My Subject";
var body_start=player.GetVar("notes");
var mailto_link='mailto:'+email+'?subject='+subject+'&body='+escape(body_start);
emailwin=window.open(mailto_link,'emailWin');
emailwin=window.close();

Note: "email" and "notes" are variables set up in Storyline.

Thanks, Joe. Always helpful to see those Javascript examples.
