Include paramerised URL in email body of a mailto link

Question

I have a Javascript variable fullurl which is a url of the form http://example.com/page.php?id=123

I'd like to create a mailto link with this URL in the body

html += '<a href="mailto:&subject=Test&body=' + fullurl +'">Click here</a> to email this link';

The result is an email with the body of just http://example.com/page.php so I imagine it is the? in the URL throwing it off, as it interprets it as the end of the body= part of mailto

Answer 1

You could try to use encodeURIComponent.

fullurl = encodeURIComponent("http://example.com/page.php?id=123")
