Question

I am developing a mobile web application and want to add the ability to send an e-mail from the web application using a link with the href="mailto:..." attribute. I coded the link and tested it and it works fine in IE 10 running on a Desktop. Next I tested on Safari running on an iPhone and it also works fine, as long as the web application is run in Safari. But, if I add that same web application to the home screen and run it as a fullscreen application from the home screen, pressing the mailto button has no effect. I want the ability to open the default e-mail application on the iPhone if the user clicks the link if the web application is in standalone/full screen mode. Is there a way to do this and if so how?

<a href="mailto://subject=Emailed Document from Server&body=test">E-Mail</a> 
Was it helpful?
