server side

So there's no way to do this with Javascript at all? Our Content Management System is Client-Side only(Yes, it sucks)so we have to use Javascript for almost everything.

Thanks!

You could email them the link, but not the actual image.

Are you saying that you can'g use any server-side script on your site?

Yep, I know, it's horrible...any ideas? Even using a link would be better than nothing, are there any good scripts for that here?

Thanks-

Maybe you could use an HTML mailto ?

If you're saying that a link would be better then nothing, let me know. You can build something statically or dynamically, though dynamically would be significantly more involved for something like this. Hree's the basic structure of the link:

<a href="mailto:[EMAIL ADDRESS}?subject=[SUBJECT]?body=[BODY]">LINK</a>

Now, if you build that dynamically, you're good to go.

If I get the current URL with javascript, how can I get that to be the body of the email, how can I call that in the a href line of the email link?

Thanks!
