mailto link not working within a frame chrome (over https)

Question

I have a mailto link on a page. It works as expected when the page is loaded by itself.

However when the page is loaded via a frameset in Chrome nothing happens. Wit

Answer 1

Possibly because your parent frameset is https, but Chrome now seems to treat the mailto link as insecure.

I just came across a similar issue when triggering a mailto link via

window.location = 'mailto:...'

Changing it to this worked around it.

window.open( 'mailto:...')
