| This is regarding the web site and not GenoPro but I couldn't find another suitable topic. I got some private messages (from non-members) that I cannot reply to as the sender did not put their email address in the message. When I press the REPLY button I must enter a member name to send to but they are not members. I am sure this is annoying to many members and a lot get PM's they cannot reply to. The solution is to add some explanation about this on the page when anyone tries to send a private message. I know he should really send an email and not PM but it is just not clear to casual guests. You can simply add a comment like: "If you are not a member, don't forget to put your email address in the message if you want a reply". Regards, Moshe Raymond

| I've also had this problem once which was frustrating as there is a real link with my family and I can't answer him as he was anonymous.

On other web sites I have included code which puts an image of a letter on the screen, linked to a mailto. See http://familytrees.genopro.com/appleshaw/Mailer/
Add the following code to the Document tab (Description) of the report generator
You need to use a Customised skin and change the line in Home.htm from
@[ Report.WriteText doc.Description ]@
to
@[ Report.Write doc.Description ]@
Two points
Mailto can lead to extra spam as there are ways of collecting the address. However if you use the net that is a permanent problem. I am looking at CGI as an alternative here.
Also although the code contains a link to a gif file, this has not been transferred to the genopro site

One step forward and then one back. To get an image I have modified the code to:- | <A HREF="mailto:EMAIL@ADDRESS"><IMG SRC="images/mailto.gif" WIDTH="95" HEIGHT="47"ALIGN="top" ALT="Click here to send message"></A> |
using the image This now works, except that the ALT message does not appear. However a message can be added above this in the main box

<!-- HTML Source Code Protected By: <http://www.DesignerWiz.com> FREE HTML Source Code Encryption Protection -->
<script>
<!--
document.write(unescape("%3Cform%3E%0D%0A%3Cinput%20type%3D%22button%22%20value%3D%22Iain Tait%22%20%0D%0AonClick%3D%22location.href%3D%27mailto%3Ainfo%26%2364%3Bbeath.net%27%22%3E%0D%0A%3C/form%3E"));
//--> This can easily be set up by going to their web site, perhaps you can try it.

Thanks for this lead. Will have a look. I have been intending to try out the CGI facilities of my ISP but have not got round to working them out.
I have also found that the lack of ALT message is browser dependant; IE 6 gives the message, FireFox 2 does not. Can not see where this is turned off yet

I have also found that the lack of ALT message is browser dependant; IE 6 gives the message, FireFox 2 does not. Can not see where this is turned off yetI think the official definition of the HTML IMG tag states that the attribute 'title' is used for the tooltip, but of course MS being a law unto itself decided differently, although I understand it will use the title attribute if present. ALT should just be used to provide alternative text when the image is not present or the browser is not displaying images. So just add a TITLE attribute as well as the ALT one. | <A HREF="mailto:EMAIL@ADDRESS"><IMG SRC="images/mailto.gif" WIDTH="95" HEIGHT="47"ALIGN="top" ALT="Click here to send message" TITLE="Click here to send message"></A> |
