<a href="#" onclick=window.open(''http://www.google.com'',null,"toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,titlebar=no,width=300,height=300")>Google</a>

I also tried all possible options with javascript,also javascripts and pop ups were enable.
It works fine in SOST but it doesnot working emails I get in browsers of mobile and desktop.

I dont want user to see the address bar.

Hi Purvang,

Why dont you try Iframe tag instead of <a> tag?

</iframe>
</body>
</html>

Hi Rudra ,

thanks for the answer

I tried with iframe it works properly in SOST but it is not appearing in mail .

The problem is the HTML content changes in mail as compared to that in SOST

In sost the html content is as follows:

</iframe>
</body>
</html>

while in mail(GMAIL) the iframe is not rendered it is just as below

similarly the javascript also disappears in the mail.

Is it possible some other way ?

I dont think we can control the way HTML page is being rendered in the mail.
