Text to Outlook body

Question

I have this button which when clicked opens outlook with the details i have provided. I also have a TEXTAREA which is holding certain texts. I'm looking for a way to have this text appear in the body of my outlook. Can this be done.? Please find code below -

 <script type="text/javascript">

        $(function () {

          $('.btnSendEmail').click(function (event) {

            var email = 'MyemailID@email.com';

            var subject = 'Creation Checklist';

            var emailBody = 'Body';

            window.location = 'mailto:' + email + '?subject=' + subject + '&body=' + emailBody;

          });

        });

      </script>



<div id="container">

<TEXTAREA ID="holdtext" rows="10" cols="70">

</TEXTAREA><br><br>



    function ChangeFunction() {    

    holdtext.innerText = appchange.innerText;

    }

Answer 1

Try changing this line:

var emailBody = 'Body';

To:

var emailBody = $('#holdtext').val();

Because textarea is a form element.. val() is the proper way to retrieve the text inside of it.

Let me know if this helps!
