One key thing to remember is: "KEEP IT SIMPLE!"

Set up the following:
        1. A form on your master page .
                <form action="sendmail.cfm">
                        <input type="submit">
                </form>
        2. A new page called sendmail.cfm with nothing but the query /
cfmail tag.

Thanks Gary, Ken,

However, I'm more shooting for an "on click" event I guess.

This isn't working, my page is erroring from nested tags or the lack of
a datasource.

<cfquery name="sendmail" datasource="clientsdatasource">
SELECT Product.Description, Product.Model
FROM Product
</cfquery>
<img src="images/interestproduct.gif" width="209" height="82"
border="0" /><cfmail to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" query="sendmail"
from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" subject="Client website: Interest in
#desciption# - #model#"></cfmail>

The CF mail is "processing" in the page, which I know is normal,
however, if the tag was in a JS "onclick" to then fire the query/mail
to, then I might be figuring this out.

Thanks everyone. sorry for the ignorance.

Mark

If your CF administrator is set up to handle e-mail, I would probably
use
the <cfmail... tag as follows:

   <cfquery name="myQuery">
        SELECT  productdescription, productdetails
        FROM            myTable
   </cfquery>

   <cfmail to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" query="myQuery"
subject="Interest in
   #productdescription#">
        #productdetails#
   </cfmail>

I have used this before and it really works great.  The e-mail address
can
also be dynamically populated from a query, form fields, etc.

I have a dynamic page output with client products.

When they click the detail, the detail product loads of course. The
client wants to have a graphic button, when clicked, will email the
client the product detail in the email subject and body.

sooo, this is the typical code:

<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"><img
src="images/interestproduct.gif" width="209" height="82" border="0"
/></a>

I"m imagining something like:

<a
href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
subject=Interest%20in%20#productdesciption#? body=#productdetails#"><img
src="images/interestproduct.gif" width="209" height="82" border="0"
/></a>

Does this look too wacky? its not working error says that the variables
are undefined... but not true. do I need to put an output tag in the
mail to ?

Sorry for such stupidity

thanks.
