Is there an easy "Tell a Friend" code?

[Live in HTML]

I am looking for an easy HTML or java script that upon clicked will bring up a form that the viewer can insert and e-mail address and the URL will be sent to that e-mail address hyperlinked.

Thanks

I'm with IAN here, but I personally prefer the look of feel of bravenet.com's remotely hosted recommend it service. Bravenet also have a lot of other nice remotely hosted scripts like your own messageboards, password gates, hit counters, mailing lists etc.
(and no, I was not paid to say that about them, but I use the site myself).

Hi, you could probably adapt this script on A1 to suit your needs http://www.a1javascripts.com/essential_scripts/custommail.html however remember javascript is client side and requires the user to have an email client to send it ( and not everyone has that ). A better idea is to use .cgi. If you have access to .cgi, a good "recommend it" script can be found at http://www.bignosebird.com/ ( this is the one A1 uses, so try it out there for an example - send it to yourself ). If you do not have .cgi access, try a remote hosted script from http://www.recommendit.com/ , it is very easy to set up and place on your site. Hope this helps point you in the right direction. Good luck.

I just used this script for "email this page to a friend"
Here it is:

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function mailpage()
{
mail_str = "mailto:?subject= Fill in your subject line here";
mail_str += "&body= Put a message in the email body here";
mail_str += " " + parent.location.href;
location.href = mail_str;
}
</SCRIPT>
<A HREF = "javascript:mailpage()">Email this page to a friend</A></p>

Let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Hi,

I think the best one on the market is Tellafriendzy (www.tellafriendzy.com).
