Mailto link in a message with a subject line not working using javascript

I am trying to set a href of a tag using java script for making that tag open a dialog to send a mail.

var ancHref = "mailto:[email protected] "?"subject=Blank filter"+" "+'<%=QWebUtility.GetAppSettings().GetSetting("CompanyName") %>';
$("#divMessageBody").append("<a href=" + ancHref + "/>");

but something is going wrong can you tell me how to append a subject that could be dynamic in nature that i am doing.

one question is: are you doing this script externally or within the page? by your example, i think you are on the page. try changing to this

var ancHref = 'mailto:[email protected]?subject=Blank filter <%=QWebUtility.GetAppSettings().GetSetting("CompanyName") %>';

try this method of creating an element also:

var ancHref = 'mailto:[email protected]?subject=Blank filter <%=QWebUtility.GetAppSettings().GetSetting("CompanyName") %>';
var mylink = $(document.createElement('a'));
mylink.attr('href',anchref);
$("#divMessageBody").append(mylink);

Yours variable is wrong:

var ancHref = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Blank filter"+'<%=QWebUtility.GetAppSettings().GetSetting("CompanyName") %>';
$("#divMessageBody").append("<a href=" + ancHref + "/>");

You typed too much "
