Using the Linden LAN Component Mail System

Abstract
This setup requires a page to have an additional six lines of code appended to it, as well as a special tag on any area that you want the email link to occur on. When completed, you will have a more secure system of sending emails out to you without having your email address visible to bots.

Step 1: Get the Code

Step 2: Place the Code
Place the above code on your website, anywhere between the <body> or <head> tags. If you want to be safe, put this code either right after the first <body>/<head> tag, or right before the last <body>/<head> tag.

Step 3: Add the Final Line
If you have an email link already setup on your webpage, you should see something similar to the following. If you don't, then you just want to go to the 3rd part.


You want to take out everything that is in quotes after "href=", leaving the <a href=""> tag with nothing in it, then you need to add a pound-sign (#) into the quotes. This ensures that you have both a working link and a link that does not override the later-added code.


Then, you want to add the key parts to this: the "id" and "onClick" methods.

Now, you need to change the x,y,z to three things in order for this to work perfectly:
x: Change this to your full name.
y: Change this to your login name for NetWare. (everything before the @ symbol)
z: You have several options here, depending on what you want to do.
Plant Pathology: Enter in (without quotes) "plantpath", "pp", "1", or "Plant Pathology".
Entomology: Enter in (without quotes) "entomology", "en", "2", "ento", or "Entomology".
IMPORTANT: Leave the single-quotes where they are. When you are all done, all three variables should be enclosed by single quotes.

If you have done this correctly, when you clicked on the link, you will be redirected to the email page, which will give your name and ask for a message to be sent to you.

Special Trick
If you wish to have an email link go to a @wisc.edu email address instead of a @xxxxx.wisc.edu, simply leave the Z blank with nothing inside the single-quotes. You can also use other @xxxxx.wisc.edu email accounts with this system by simply putting into z your current prefix used in your mail account. (i.e. students, facstaff, etc.)
