I have a button that triggers the following javascript function:
function sendEmail() {
var mail = 'mailto:[email protected]';
location.href = mail;
};
In Chrome, this function triggers an HTTP GET to 'mailto:[email protected]', but the HTTP GET has a 'canceled' status in the Inspect Element Network tab, and the email client is not opened.
In IE, the email client also does not get opened.
How can I get the email client to open?

Reset to default 5It works for me. But you can try this
function sendEmail() {
var mail = 'mailto:[email protected]';
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = mail;
document.body.appendChild(a); // Add to the DOM
a.click();
document.body.removeChild(a); // Remove it back
};
