This function was created for use by University departments and individuals to allow web visitors to e-mail articles to themselves or friends. To see how this function is used, go to the "E-mail This" sample page.
Instructions for modifying the "E-Mail This" sample page:
Step 1: Create or identify an HTML file to suit your department. We'll call this the "article" page. The "E-mail This" sample page is an example of an article page. This page can be saved to your hard drive and customized. To save the sample page to your hard drive, click on "E-mail This", then select "File", "Save as". The page can then be edited with any editor.
Step 2: In your "article" HTML page, include the following code within the <HEAD></HEAD> tags:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mis183.mis.udel.edu/javascript/sticky.js></script>
Step 3: In your "article" HTML page, also add a link to call the "E-mail This" function. This would be the words you would click on to send the copy of the article (such as "E-mail This" or "Send a copy to a friend"). To do this, include the following in the HREF tag for that link:
<a href="javascript:emailpopup('http://www.mis2.udel.edu/ud/forms/emailreport.html')">E-mail This</a>
Step 4: Next, create the page for the pop up window which asks for recipient/senders information. To copy and save this sample text for the popup to your hard drive, select File, "Save as." The graphic at the top of the pages, background, and button graphics may be changed. Substitute your file names for the names in the sample. Don't forget to put your name or title of the article at the top of the form.
Step 5: To save the envelope image  to your local drive, right mouse click on the envelope and choose "Save image as".
