Passing data from javascript var to html

[geuis]

I am trying to write some code that will create a new mail message when clicked on, but will include the time of creation in the body of the message. I am *not* trying to get it to auto-send. I still need to be able to make changes to the email if necessary, then manually send it.

Code I have so far makes the message w/ To: and Subject:
<a href=&quot;mailto:anyone@anywhere.com?subject=&quot;a Simple Email&quot;>Dropped Call</a>

Problem is that I can generate the current time in a simple javascript function, but I don't know how to put that time, stored in var curTime into the body of the email automatically. Any help is much, much appreciated.

<script>
function hrefMail(objHref){
dteNow = new Date();
objHref.href='mailto:anyone@anywhere.com?Subject=a Simple Email on ' + dteNow.toString();
}
</script>
<a href='' onClick='hrefMail(this)''>send mail</a>

This works with an outlook mail client. Don't know for other mail clients :

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function sendEmail() {
  var o_Date = new Date();
  var o_link=document.getElementById(&quot;MailLink&quot;);
  var mailUrl = &quot;mailto:anyone@anywhere.com?subject=a Simple Email&body=&quot; + o_Date.toLocaleDateString();
  o_link.href = mailUrl;
}
</script>
<a id=&quot;MailLink&quot; href=&quot;&quot; onclick=&quot;sendEmail();&quot;>Dropped Call</a>
