Can't add email to animated shortcode button

Great plugin thanks so much!

I am running 2011 WordPress v 1.5 and have custom designed it. I have added your Shortcode Ultimate plugin and was wondering how can I add my email link to your animated button on my Contact page? http://www.worksofbart.com/

When I add the email link with the WP dashboard to the words in the button, it works, but the button disappears behind the link. I just want the “button” to link to the email.

So I tried the code below, and it did not work it took my to the home page. I explained exactly what I am doing below I want this button not to link to a page but to open an email link on click. Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong?

This is the code I’m using now to get the animated button to link to an email window: (not working this links to Home page)

[su_animate type=”flipInY” duration=”1.5″ delay=”0.5″][su_button onclick=”mailto:[email protected]?subject=Requesting a design proposal” background=”#FF7800″ size=”5″ radius=”5″ icon=”icon: chevron-right”]Tell us about your next design project we’d like to help[/su_button][/su_animate][su_spacer size=”35″]

How I came up with the code above?

I replace it this:
url=”http://worksofbart.com/contact-us-today/”

…with this email code:
onclick=”mailto:[email protected]?subject=Requesting a design proposal”

With this code the Contact page button links to my Home page not the email. Is updating to 2011 WP v1.7 required? I want a click to open an email. Can you see what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Bart
