Hi folks.
I have a button on a page, what that button needs to do is open then users default mail client and load the value of a field into the 'to' box. Pretty much as a hyperlink would.
Any ideas?

One method would be to use a template variable (SetTag):
global $Tpl;
$Tpl->SetVar("recipient", $grid->email_field->GetValue());
Then in your HTML your link will be something like:
<a href='mailto://' {recipient} ></a>

Also our Employee Directory example contains such links on the "EmpsGrid" page. Those are standard hyperlinks with "mailto:" added into the HTML code.

Yep that's exactly what I did in the end, set the href value on the control to the database column that contains the mail address and then manually edited the HTML and prefixed the mailto: works like a charm.
