Hello everyone: Here's today's quiz. When visiting a site and attemping to contact the company via e-mail, the e-mail window correctly opens under Windows but not under Linux. I'm using Windows XP Home edition and SuSE Linux 9.3 on a laptop computer. Firefox is web browser on both platforms. I go to:

Alterna.ca

then to:

Welcome

then I select either:

Former CS Co-op Member . . . . or Alterna Bank Clients

In both cases, I go to

Contact Us

then I select e-mail and see the following links:

query@alterna.ca or questions@alterna.ca

Under Windows, either link produces a blank e-mail message area. Under Linux, nothing happens, the page just blinks. Any ideas. Cheers, Mike

Take a look here how to enable mailto link handling in firefox: http://opensource.weblogsinc.com/entry/7672458579278871/

This article is a little bit old, so try to look in firefox faq/knoledge base as well if this not work.

Cheers
