[removed] Open Outlook and add attachments to new email

Question

Like below (taken from here):

    var theApp = new ActiveXObjec         


        

Answer 1

Actually I had a wrong path, so the code below is fully working and can be used. It tested on Windows 8 and IE 11.

Sure it will work only in IE and not on other browsers. It opens a popup window asking about permission to run ActiveX.

   function sendEmail(){
       try{
          var theApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");
          var objNS = theApp.GetNameSpace('MAPI');
          var theMailItem = theApp.CreateItem(0); // value 0 = MailItem
          theMailItem.to = ('test@gmail.com');
          theMailItem.Subject = ('test');
          theMailItem.Body = ('test');
          theMailItem.Attachments.Add("C:\\file.txt");
          theMailItem.display();
      }
      catch (err) {
         alert(err.message);
      } 
   }

Answer 2

       try{
          var theApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");
          var objNS = theApp.GetNameSpace('MAPI');
          var theMailItem = theApp.CreateItem(0); // value 0 = MailItem
          theMailItem.to = ('test@gmail.com');
          theMailItem.Subject = ('test');
          theMailItem.Body = ('test');
          theMailItem.Attachments.Add("C:\\file.txt");
          theMailItem.display();
      }
      catch (err) {
         alert(err.message);
      } 
   }

semi colon is missing in the path
