Create a "Contact Us" button in a WinHelp skin?

I'm using RH11 and using XP Blue skin.  I want to create a "Contact Us" button that opens up Outlook for the user pre-populated with our email address and a subject line of "request for additional information".  William Van Weelden has provided a javascript for a Contact Us button that pulls the Topic Title and Title URL, but I don't know how to alter that for this purpose.

Is there any easy way to do this?  I'm also willing to just create an image on the skin that just opens up Outlook and pre-populates with our email address and just uses HTML, if that's a better route.

Thanks!

Hi there

Should be pretty simple to accomplish.

I believe I've documented how to do this in my Skinny on Skins file. You can download it from here:

Here's the code for the HTML to accomplish that:  <A HREF="mailto:you@yourdomain.com?subject=Your Subject">


If I could get a button that would trigger that simple HTML, that would be nice and so much easier than JavaScript.

Thanks, Captiv8r!  I was making that way too hard on myself.  Your script did the trick!
