Hi Matthew,

That is great. I adjusted the script as below and all works as hoped.

var player = GetPlayer();
var email = 'my.email@address.com'
var fbk = player.GetVar('Feedback');
var fbk2 = player.GetVar('Feedback2');
var fbk3 = player.GetVar('Feedback3');
var subject = 'Course Feedback';
var emailBody = 'Here is some feedback:' + '\n' + fbk + '\n' + fbk2 + '\n' + fbk3;
var mailto_link = 'mailto:' + email + '?subject=' + subject + '&body=' + encodeURIComponent(emailBody);
win = window.open(mailto_link, 'emailWin');

Two quick questions if I may:

  1. Will this work in a LMS?
  2. Is there a way of stopping a blank tab opening at the same time as the email?

Thanks again Matthew!

Regards

David
