Default AW: mailto conversion tracking question

Hello everyone,

My local HTML-helpdesk told my it wasn't possible. But I don't like impossible so I'll ask again here hoping you don't like impossible as well.

I wan't to track conversion when a visitor clicks on a mailto.
This is not the problem.
<a href="mailto:storytrail@stadsavonturen.nl" onClick="location.href='http://www.storytrail.nl/content/bedankt'; return true;">
I can have the conversion tracking code on the "bedankt(thanx) page" and get results.

Also I need to have prewritten subject and body text in the mailto.
This is also not the problem.
href="mailto:storytrail@stadsavonturen.nl?subject= reservation for august 26 2007
body=please fill in name and adress, etc.

The problem is. I can't do both. Somehow I can't seem to have it skip to the tracking page after hitting the mailto and have it fill in the subject line in the mail-editor.

I know I could probably solve this easily with an online mail form. But I've always disliked online forms so my guess is that a some of my customers don't like them as well which is a good reason for me to stay away of them.

Anyway, does anyone out there know of a way to combine these two?

Much obliged,

Almer

Hi Almer,

I just tried this quick test:

Code:
<a href="mailto:whoever@wherever.com?SUBJECT=This&BODY=That" onClick="location.href='http://www.google.com'; return true;">TEST</a>
It worked as expected, populating the mail form with a subject and body and redirecting the browser to Google. I'm not sure why you are experiencing the problem - can you provide more information? Is there more JavaScript on your page that may be interfering with this link somehow?

Thanks Kim,

The code worked as it should. I checked with the writer of the HTML-editor and it was indeed a problem with another script that kept adding bits and pieces I didn't want. He has it fixed now and I'm up and running and finnaly able to measure my conversions.

Thanks again,

Almer
