Javascript set outlook email

A popular topic!

To set an Outlook email using JavaScript, you can use the window.location property to open the Outlook compose window with a pre-filled email address and subject. Here's an example:

window.location.href = 'mailto:' + '[email protected]' + '?subject=Hello%20World!';

This will open the Outlook compose window with the recipient's email address and a subject line of "Hello World!".

If you want to set the body of the email as well, you can use the body parameter:

window.location.href = 'mailto:' + '[email protected]' + '?subject=Hello%20World!&body=This%20is%20the%20email%20body.';

Note that the body parameter should be URL-encoded to ensure that special characters are properly escaped.

You can also use the Outlook.Application object to set the email programmatically, but this requires more advanced JavaScript knowledge and is not supported in all browsers. Here's an example:

var outlook = new ActiveXObject('Outlook.Application');
var mail = outlook.CreateItem(0); // 0 = olMailItem
mail.To = '[email protected]';
mail.Subject = 'Hello World!';
mail.Body = 'This is the email body.';
mail.Send();

Keep in mind that this approach requires the Outlook application to be installed on the user's machine and may not work in all browsers or environments.

In summary, the window.location property is a simple and widely supported way to set an Outlook email using JavaScript, while the Outlook.Application object provides more advanced functionality but requires more complex code and is not supported in all browsers.
