You need to use JavaScript for this. It looks like you're trying to embed JavaScript inside an HTML tag, which is not valid.

JavaScript code can be embedded in HTML tags in the form of event handlers. Examples include the onload , onclick , and onmouseover attributes. More on events .

There are much more maintainable ways to do this, but here is a quick and dirty solution, using the onclick event handler:

<a href="mailto:googlehelp_r@gmail.com?Subject=Help%20Google-%20Results&body=" onclick="this.href+=escape(window.location.href)">GoogleResults</a>
