Adding an Email Me button to a webpage

You can add an Email Me button to any page of your website. When visitors to your published site click the button, a new email message window opens so that they can type a message and send it to you. Where the message is sent depends on how you publish your website:

  • If you publish your site to MobileMe, the message is addressed, by default, to your MobileMe Mail account.

  • If you publish your site to a third-party hosting service other than MobileMe, the message is addressed using the address on your Me card in Address Book.

If you want these email messages to go a different address, click the name of the website in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window. In the Site Publishing Settings window, type the address in the Contact email field.

To add an Email Me button:

  1. Select the page you want to add the button to by clicking it in the sidebar on the left of the iWeb window.

  2. Choose Insert > Button > Email Me.

  3. Drag the button to a new location on the page if you want.

    Blue alignment guides appear as you drag to help you align the button with other objects on the page.

You can’t resize or otherwise modify the button. Delete it by selecting it and pressing Delete on your keyboard.

You can add text or an object (such as a photo) to a page that opens an email message prepopulated with an address you specify. For example, to link a photo to an email message, select the photo, click the inspector button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window, and click the Link button. In the hyperlink pane, select “Enable as hyperlink,” choose An Email Message from the Link To pop-up menu, and provide the information requested.
