Javascript adding linebreak in mailto body

Question

I\'m setting the body of an email using values from a form

  firstname = bob
  lastname = dole

   ebody = \'First Name: \' + firstname + \'\\r\\n\' + \'Last         


        

Answer 1

I would expect outlook to try and output this as html/rich text so in that case you would need something like the following (including a urlencoded br tag):

 firstname = bob
  lastname = dole

   ebody = 'First Name: ' + firstname + '%3C%2Fbr%3E' + 'Last Name: ' + lastname

  window.location.href = 'mailto:myemail@mycompany.com?subject=test
  email&body=' + ebody;
