That's a good thought, but the customers are using an external, third party app to do the email sending. Plus, we don't want our mail servers to potentially blacklisted.
Okay...I've got this working now. Turns out that the code for auto-selecting needs to be on the calling page. :) -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of skyeflye Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 1:22 PM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Re: Thickbox popup, containing an autoselected textarea? Hi Andy, Thinking "around" the problem rather than "about" the problem... Have you instead considered the possibility of allowing your customers to send the email message with the source code (as an attachment, or in the message body) directly from the Thickbox? So instead of the Thickbox containing only a <textarea> with the page's source code in it, it could contain a simple form allowing your customers to send the email message to whoever they chose directly from the website - no email client needed. You could even "hard code" the "TO" email addresses to be in a select menu (if there aren't too many potential recipients).
