TMO Quick Tip - Email URLs In Safari
by , 7:30 AM EST, March 29th, 2006
Emailing a Web page URL to a friend directly from Safari is pretty easy to do in Tiger, but takes a little bit of prep work in Panther. Either way, you can make Safari create a new email message with the URL already included, ready to send.
In Tiger, choose File > Mail Link to This Page. You can also use the Command-Shift-I keyboard shortcut.
In Panther, you need to create a script that mimics the Mail Link command. Here's how:
- Open a new window in Safari.
- Copy this command: javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href)
- Paste the command into the URL field in Safari.
- Click the plus button to add a new bookmark.
- Give the bookmark an appropriate name, like "email link"
- Choose Bookmarks Bar from the pop-up menu.
- Click the Add button.

Any time you want to share the URL for a Web page you are visiting, just click "email link" in Safari's Bookmark bar. I found having an email link bookmark is so handy that I continue to use mine, even though My PowerBook runs Tiger.

I can't get Safari to save javascript as bookmark. It saves blank page or url that I erased from url field as Email Link bookmark. Any suggestions?
Try clicking on the globe icon just to the left of the Javascript in Safari's URL field, and then drag down to the Bookmark bar. That should create the bookmark for you.
