How to make chrome use external program for mailto links? - google-chrome

It seems like the mailto links we're embedding in our website fail to do anything in Chrome, though they work in Firefox.
hi this is a test
Do we need to do something special to enable mail links in Chrome?
Click on a mailto link does nothing. Nothing happens. It works in firefox and every other app on the computer.
How do I add an external program as the mail handler or make chrome use the system mail handler?

im try this in my chrome work
send email
im use windows im just configuration default app in setting windows
or type start button "default mail"

maito command in anchor tag is not working anymore

href="mailto:johndoe#xyz.com"
The above code snippet on an anchor tag should open a default mail client on any system but now it's going to an external URL "https://sso.secureserver.net/?realm=pass&app=ox&saas=0&region=am2"
You can try with any of the old web pages you've built, It goes to this URL all of a sudden.
Does anyone know why?
Its really weired
It must be a redirection set from your browser/OS. Check what is your default email client in browser.
So as most of you guys said it was configured in my mail setting's / prefrences. So google chrome was set as default mail client and it went to the godaddy URL.
I followed https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201607 to get it fixed and everthing is working smooth now! Thanks Everyone!
How to change your default email app
Make sure that the other email app is installed. Although you might be able to use a web browser for email (webmail), a web browser isn't an email app.
Open the Mail app.
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click General.
Choose an email app from the ”Default email reader” menu.

Chrome - onclick and href at the same time

This works fine in IE and FIREFOX. I just can't get it to work right in CHROME.
What I want to happen when the link is clicked, to launch the local mail client and then change the page to google.
In chrome, if I use the tag below it will launch the local mail client, but it won't change the page to Google.
Launch outlook and google
If I add "return false" on the end as seen below, it will change the page to google, but it won't launch the local mail client.
Launch outlook and google
How do I get this to work in CHROME like it does in IE and FIREFOX?
javascript: makes no sense in onclick and is syntactically incorrect. You should actually bind the event with JavaScript using addEventListener, but if you must use onclick, just
window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com/'
Should be enough. Also, why the return false? That would stop the default event which is the opening of the mail client, right?

mailto link is not working in Chrome Browser (Version :18.0.1025.152 m)

mailto link is not working in Google Chrome browser (Ver:18.0.1025.152 m)
Send mail!
I used the above code in ff and chrome. It works fine in ff but not in chrome
And you can test this link also. I think it is problem with chrome settings. Anyone know how to change settings?
This is because chrome handles the mailto in different way. You can got to chrome://settings/handlers and make sure that which is the default handler. In your case it will be none. Now go to gmail.com. You should see something like this when you click on the button beside the bookmark button.
If you wish to open all email links through gmail then set use gmail. Now when you click on mailto button, chrome will automatically opens in gmail.
You can check which program is mapped to handle mailto: links by entering chrome://settings/handlers. It could well be that if the mailto: handler is somehow misconfigured, Chrome silently fails on mailto: links.
More information on handlers, including allowing websites to handle special links is available at http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1382847
For what it's worth, mailto: link in the W3Schools example works without problems with Chrome 19.0.1084.41 (Official Build 134854) beta-m and Outlook 2010 under Windows 7 Professional (64-bit).
It happens because your email default program doesn't working correctly.
This fixed mine .. Set your default email reader.

It is not because of the Chrome Settings...
Chrome is more specific for the Html and CSS, so your problem is probably that one of your 's is going over the link or image if you're trying to use an image as a mailto command.
Once you are on the page you are trying to make this work right click and choose "inspect element" and check if another element is going over your link...
Then in Css fix that and your mailto link will work...
Hope this helps

Windows 8 + Chrome and broken mailto links

I can't get chrome on windows 8 to open mailto links. They work fine in IE, and they work fine in chrome if the mailto is handled by a website (such as gmail), but I can't get it to work if Outlook is set to handle the uri.
Has anyone else faced this issue?
I'm not certain from the description if the problem you're having is the same that I had, but...
If clicking a mailto: link is bringing Chrome to the forefront but not actually starting a new message in Gmail, then you probably need to set Gmail as the mailto handler within Chrome.
Open Chrome's Settings.
Click "Show advanced settings".
Under "Privacy", click "Content settings".
Under "Handlers", click "Manage handlers".
For the "mailto" Type, set the combo box to "Gmail".
OK, OK, and you're done.
Click a mailto: link to try it out.
You should follow the standard bug investigation/reporting path:
look up a similar issue at http://crbug.com
if none is found, file a
new one at http://new.crbug.com
That said, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=62254 looks much like yours.

HTML: cannot open client e-mail app

for some reason, the following code doesn't work. I don't understand where the issue is. I just want to open a client e-mail app to send an e-mail.
Send an email to a friend
Safari visits the page "mailto:enter-friend#address-here.com?subject=Pa0Website&body=This%20e-mail%20has%20been%20sent%20to%20inform%20you%20about%20%20website:%20"
Chrome doesn't do anything
I haven't tested on other browsers so far.
Thanks
You don't get to decide how the client deals with a mailto link. Each user/browser can do what it wants with those links. For instance, I have my chrome setup to open GMail when I click mailto links. Apparently you have yours setup to not do anything. Here's a random link running down how to do something like this on your system - http://bnee.com/2008/09/make-mailto-links-open-in-gmail-in-google-chrome-browser-windows-xp-and-vista/
