CONTENT AREA MODAL (to Include Email Link)

[Good_Usernames_Gone]

Dear Apex,

I have a question relating to the CONTENT AREA MODAL element.

On using the CONTENT AREA MODAL element there is the function to include a website and link which I have done successfully.

QUESTION #1 (Main Purpose of message to Apex)

I wish to ALSO include an EMAIL LINK on the same element, so a website user can click and the users OUTLOOK opens up to then send an email and attach a resume.

How do I include an EMAIL LINK in this same MODAL element (or please recommend the correct MODAL, or other element I should be using to achieve this).

QUESTION #2

What does the DYNAMIC RENDERING (Load/Reset on element toggle) actually do?

I’ve played with this element and can’t see how it affects the Modal?

Many thanks for your advice…

You need to add HTML mailto code to include email link. Please add following HTML code in Content area model editor:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_top">Send Mail</a>

Please make sure to replace the email address. To learn more, please take a look at following resource.

What does the DYNAMIC RENDERING (Load/Reset on element toggle) actually do?

Basically Load / reset on element toggle refresh the modal content once it’s opened again and is useful when a form is needed to be reset once the modal is reopened.

For example, let’s say you add a YouTube video into model content. If you haven’t selected the Load / reset on element toggle and if the video is playing, even if you close the modal window, video will keep playing in the background. If you don’t want the video to play in background once model is closed, you need to select Load / reset on element toggle option.

Thanks.

THANK YOU so much for your email back to me.

It seems simple enough as you’ve described it and I’m sure it will work fine from now.

Cheers,
