creating a submit button to fetch topic tile and other info and send an email

We use a combination of topic link and external JavaScript file (make changes to all red text as per your needs).

IN THE TOPIC (note the path to the external script is at the root level of a merged WebHelp project):

===========

<!--(HR)============================================================-->
<hr style="width: 300px;
   float: aligncenter;
   color: #d9e4da;
   x-condition: Online;"
width=300
align=center
color=#D9E4DA>

<p style="text-align: center; x-condition: Online;"
align=center><script src="../../feedback_script.js"
language=javascript
type="text/javascript"
style="x-condition: Online;"></html></script></p>

EXTERNAL JAVASCRIPT FILE (note the \n\n, which denotes a double new line for a paragraph break):

=======================

var mailSubject = 'Online Help Vx.x.x Comment';
var mailBody = '[Enter comments here] \n\nMy comments apply to this page: ' + location.href;
var mailDisplay = 'Feedback on this page';
document.write(
'<a href="mailto:docteam@ajax.com'
+ '?subject=' + escape(mailSubject)
+ '&body=' + escape(mailBody)
+ '">' + mailDisplay + '</a>');

Good luck,

Leon

Hi,

To get the topic title in JavaScript, simply use:

Var Title = document.title;

You can now use the document title in the rest of the script.

Or by pass the form and create a link that opens an email with what you want in it.
