Scenario :

You have a page where a certain section of that page has text that changes every day at midnight.

A visitor to that website page sees that particular changing comment and would like to email that text to a friend of theirs.

Example of the table layout below.

Any ideas where to start please?

Any help very much appreciated.

The person can copy the text, and paste it into their e-mail message, and send it?

What are you asking, more precisely?

Google for "email a friend" scripts. :-)

I looked at using this sort of script in my novice days but soon realised that I was zapping so much fake "mail a friend" spam that it wasn't reasonable to anybody else to believe that the messages from my site might be legit.

Thanks for the input - it's all appreciated.

Xapti - To see what I'm trying to achieve, it's so that when the visitor clicks on a particular link, it will send a certain part of the text on that page (from the table cell in the code above), to a friend of theirs.

Any ideas on how it could be done please?
