asked on

mailto force focus to the body of the message - email

Is there a way to set the focus when using a regular mailto: link to email someone
i.e., someone@email.com?subject=Contact+City+Manager&body=Dear+City+Manager:

This does correctly prepopluate the fields, however the focus seems to stay in the subject line when I am attempting to force it to set its focus in the body of the email message.  

I realize this may be an issue in depenance on what the end users email is, but figured I'd ask incase there is a way to do this.

Sorry, but no - it cannot be done that way. As you suspects, the javascript or HTML in a web page can not refer another program.

So I guess it just defaults focus to the subject -  no matter what?

Reasoning of asking this:  I thought I seen somewhere that this possible.
Thanks - I will leave this open another 24 hours and see if someone has any bright ideas.
