Based on your code, I see you want to open the outlook window from the javascript.
For this issue, I suggest you use the mailto to complete it like below.
<script language="javascript">
function TriggerOutlook() {
var body = escape(window.document.title + String.fromCharCode(13) + window.location.href);
var subject = "Take a look at this cool code snippet from CodeDigest.Com!!";
window.location.href = "mailto:?body=" + body + "&subject=" + subject;
}
</script>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="TriggerOutlook()" />
You can also use the ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application") for it like below.

Diplaying Email window on the foreground
Apr 02, 2014 04:58 AM|mnmhemaj|LINK
I am using the following code to open outlook from VB.NET
Dim body As String = "<html><a href=file:////\\\\server2\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\Tr\\Attachments\\" & LblTaskNo.Text & "\\" & phase & " target=blank>Link to files</a></html>" Dim script As String = "" & _ " var outlookApp = new ActiveXObject(""Outlook.Application"");" & _ " var nameSpace = outlookApp.getNameSpace(""MAPI"");" & _ " var mailFolder = nameSpace.getDefaultFolder(6);" & _ " var mailItem = mailFolder.Items.add('IPM.Note.FormA');" & _ " mailItem.HTMLBody = '" & body & "';" & _ " mailItem.Subject = '" & LblTaskNo.Text & " - " & phase & " ';" & _ " mailItem.To ='abc@xyz.com' ;" & _ " mailItem.display(0);" ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.GetType(), "Display Email", script, True)This works fine. But I need to popup the email window on the top of the screen. (I can see the outlook icon blinking on the taskbar.)

Hi Fuxiang
Thanks for your solution. I require one more help.
I want to embed a link to filesystem in the body.
I tried like
var body = "<a href=file:////\\\\srv2\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\TM\\Attachments\\" & " >Link to files</a>";
But it is not helping. Can you correct it?
Thanks.
