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

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"
in this piece of HTML code
PARTECIPA
the opening of the website in the Microsoft Edge browser is indicated if installed on the device.
Can anyone help me? I would like the site to open in Google Chrome and not in Edge.
How should I edit this HTML?
To open the link using the Chrome browser instead of Microsoft Edge, you can change the value of href attribute like this: PARTECIPA. Assuming that Chrome browser is installed, that should open the Chrome browser.
Problem:
If Edge is not installed on the device (mob, desk or tab) it doesn't
work
In this case, it's best to simply use a standard URL without specifying a specific browser, like this. PARTECIPA. In addition, the "googlechrome:" protocol is not a standardized protocol and probably may not work in all devices. So, you can use a standardized URL like the code snippet I posted above and let the users device choose.
Do you know if instead of chrome I can specify "default browser"
Example PARTECIPA or
something similar?
There is no standard protocol for specifying the default browser. So, best approach is to simply use a standard URL without specifying a specific browser. But if you really want to use special web protocols inside hypertext links to force web pages or files to open with particular browsers on Windows or iOS, place browser-name before the hypertext reference link.
Check this:
Open in Google Chrome
Open in Microsoft Edge
Open in Mozilla Firefox
Open in Apple Safari
Open in Opera
This function does not work!
A similar example is for IOS, which works in the following way
Example :

Google has official documentation on the Chrome iOS app’s URI scheme on its developer website.
Simply replace http with googlechrome and https with googlechromes. This means:
http://www.google.com/ becomes googlechrome://www.google.com/
https://apple.stackexchange.com/ becomes googlechromes://apple.stackexchange.com/
Previously, it supported an x-callback-url of googlechrome-x-callback://. This allowed the calling app to indicate its name and URI scheme to Chrome, which would show a back button in the address bar that closes the tab and invokes the specified URI. This feature was removed a few years ago when iOS 9 added the “Back to …” button in the status bar (but the URI scheme still works).
I use both gmail (through Chrome) and the Outlook desktop app, both on Windows 10.
Right now chrome is set to handle all mailto links, no matter in which program I click a mailto link.
This is not ideal, as any mailto link I click in outlook is opened in gmail. Therefore I would like to set Outlook to handle all mailto links I click in Outlook, and gmail to handle all mailto links I click in Chrome.
When I try to search for solutions, all I find is people describing how to change the mailto handler for Windows, not how to have different handlers depending on which program the click originated from.
If it is not possible using only Windows settings, solutions that involve potential third party software are also welcome.
I'm creating a mobile website with a Whatsapp share button. I've checked every single post on Stackoverflow before opening a new question.
The thing is, when i put something like this:
send
or this:
send
the anchor just isn't on the website!
of course, if i put every other link instead of "whatsapp://send" it works.
I need to add: it do work for every browser but Safari.
Is something wrong with my code? Should i use a URL instead of the whatsapp protocol?
Edit: i've tried with the wa.me i.e.:
but whatsapp says it's incorrect. Of course, it works on every other phone or whatsapp web too
thanks guys!!
ok, the issue was solved this way:
if you didn't put the ?phone part it just didn't work on safari.
If yo use wa.me it didn't handle it correctly on Whatsapp (iOS).
If you use the whatsap:// protocol it didn't work on Safari.
Anyway I don't know WHY the anchor didn't appeared. Did Safari check links or parse html code before showing?
f* you Safari!
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.
