How do I create a mailto link with a subject line that dynamically fills in the current page URL?
We have a link in the footer of our website that is a mailto link to send our web team website feedback. Unfortunately, I never know what page they're referring to. I would like to add the URL if possible, or some version of the current page location to the subject line of the email.
This script is in a static block with some JavaScript to keep out spammers. I'm open to other ways to keep spammers out too.

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
var v2="I3XVYGRW3Q3Q2PAHJ4BJ5FJRJ6";var v7=unescape("*F%2174%2616%1D%26V3F5%20%25%0AS%21%29V%22d7.C");var v5=v2.length;var v1="";for(var v4=0;v4<v5;v4++){v1+=String.fromCharCode(v2.charCodeAt(v4)^v7.charCodeAt(v4));}document.write('<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.location=\'mailto:'+v1+'?subject=Cuyamaca%20College%20Website%20Feedback'+'\'">'+'Website Feedback<\/a>');

Hi Rhonda,
I think you could accomplish this using a Velocity Format and the
$currentPage
variable. Specifically, you could do something like the following:So basically use the
$currentPage
variable to provide context for the calling page when generating the JavaScript. Additionally, you can use the Escape Tool to generate the subject string so it's easier to read/maintain.Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
