JavaScript and Emails
Tuesday August 19, 2008
Email programs are very different to Web Browsers regarding JavaScript.
One format that most email programs support to send emails in is HTML. Just because you can use HTML in emails though doesn't mean that you can also use JavaScript as well. Yes some email programs do support JavaScript but there are some very good reasons why you should disable JavaScript in your email program if it hasn't already done that for you.

Thank you so much for the info. I’m currently trying to embed a survey in the email body for one of our clients where javascript is used for validation and and some other functions. I’ve tested this in my Outlook and Gmail but none of the functions are being passed.
