Smarty's mailto doesn't work! [Solved]

[colinmcc]

(I can't find a smarty related part of this forum, so hope that if isn't the right place for my question then a moderator will move this please..)

In my footer tpl I have written

Code: Select all

Contact me at  {mailto address="xxxx@xxxx.com"  subject="Contact from xxxx.com" encode="javascript"}

When I save and reload the page the email address is shown but followed by an

Code: Select all

 Â

 , it looks like

Code: Select all

 "xxxx@xxxx.com"Â

  and the whole string including the inverted commas and the  Â has been made into the clickable html mailto link. So the link when clicked doesn't work! My email creator opens but with no to: address or subject loaded.

I can't see anything wrong with my syntax, so is this a smarty 'bug'..?

Thanks!

Try re-typing it... Maybe you had some funny control character in there.

Have you the same error with mailto param "hex"?

It is in my opinion the better solution cause javascript must be allowed on user site - if not they will see nothing.

Thanks! Yes I tried re-typing it and the link is now fine!

And, also, thanks to Cyberman too, I can use hex as an alternative.
