create email link from JS

Question

In Java Script have this expression that returns an email address:

calendarMonth[i].events[j].email

I want to create an html link so with after clicking in this email a person will open an email like outlook. I am trying to use this model

<a href="mailto:email@echoecho.com?subject=SweetWords">
Send Email</a> 

but I am having lots of problem with the assembling of the html code using JS. I was trying

var email = '<b>Email: </b>'+ ' <a href="mailto:'+ 
calendarMonth[i].events[j].email+'"> <br/>';

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Your general idea is right, you just messed up the HTML syntax. You're missing the contents of the anchor and the </a> closing tag.

var email = '<b>Email:</b> <a href="mailto:' + calendarMonth[i].events[j].email + '">' + 
            calendarMonth[i].events[j].email + '</a>';
