Iphone mail won't display javascript in html attachments?

When I attach an HTML file to an email and then email it to my iphone, I can view the file fine. However, none of the javascript in the file seems to run - not even simple things like showing / hiding divs triggered by onClick events.

Is there a way to make javascript work with attachments in iphone mail app?

JavaScripts are supported in MobileSafari browser, but not by mail.



I think that in order to run JavaScript the way you want, you will need to open the website in a browser. Can't think of any other way to do this.

No. Like every email client that still exists, JavaScript, etc. Will be blocked.



Including JS code can actually prevent the delivery of your emails - tags <script>

will likely raise the warning flag in most anti-spam filters.

Maybe you can possibly get some of the interactivity you want with CSS. This is tricky because elements never get: hover, but you can attach behavior to: target and: active states to get some pretty nice interactivity that works in Mail on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Mail. (However, people who read mail in gmail will have it all.)
