HTML - Outlook 2003 Html Formatting Lost
Hey guys, so, I'm having some problems creating HTML newsletter emails in Outlook 2003, whenever the newsletter is viewed in a browser it works fine, the layout stays the same and everyones happy. However, when this is put in an email as HTML text the format completely messes up. Does anyone know a way round this? I've tried importing it into Word and saving it, then copying and pasting it in but still no luck. Any help would be great!
Similar TutorialsHello, I am trying to create a HTML newsletter email, but for some reason the table I created for the framework is scrunching inside MS Outlook. It appears to be correct with every other medium (various webmails and such). Is there a way to force outlook to keep the table properties I put inside the code? I attached the HTML file as well as a screenshot of how outlook looks. Any help is greatly appreciated! Hi, I'm a beginner with HTML and am trying to generate stationary using HTML for Outlook2007. The below is what I have for my code and the look is actually very good. However, when I tab from the subject line to the body, the cursor ends up at the beginning of my centered image. From there, the image moves when I type. What I'm looking to have happen is for the image to be static (un-movable) and the cursor to actually start positioned below the image with a left justification. Does anyone have any ideas?

I create the HTML with absolute links for them via Dreamweaver; then they attach the HTML "as text" into a new Outlook message and send it out. It works surprisingly well except for one thing: Outlook always drops out any background image so that part of the message just looks blank. Is there any easy way to force Outlook to display a background image correctly? Thanks! Hi Friends, I've created an html coded email signature for Outlook 2003 (old, i know) and need some help.

Please help me... its very urgent Thanks & Regards Karteek Challa Hi. I am comparatively new to html. Hi. I am aware there are differing opinions regarding Html emails. However, I have been requested to produce an html document to email to specific recipients in this format. Some of the html functions I need to use are not handled well by the Email client I am using (Outlook 2007), let alone where it is going. Therefore as a workaround I am attempting to email the html document as an attachment to my email, so that it will be opened in a web browser. However, I am having trouble, linking to the attached photos to the same email from within that html document. I have successfully, embeded the photos into the same email, using CDO 1.21 (from MS Access VBA) and <img src=cid: etc. However, this does not work for the attached html file. Any ideas on how to refer to them from within the attached html document would be greatly appreciated, even if I am going in the wrong direction. Thank you. Goo Day... I'm "still" working with Microsoft FrontPage 2003. I have created a Quiz homepage, used for training, and included a Drop Down Box, where the user can select his name before answering some questions. At the end the user Submits the answers and I get an email with the selection. I would like to add following: when the candidate submits his work, he gets an email with his answers automatically according the selected name in the Drop Down Box. Any idea how I can do this? Cheers, Kues. Hi, I have an unusual problem. I am linking pages for my website, and I am sure that I have the formatting correct, but for some reason, when I reference my page (which is in a different directory) from a page within my root web folder, the formatting is gone. I am currently using simple html. My reference is as follows from my page within the root directory: <a href="/directory/directory/page.html">Text</a> The page works perfectly fine when it is in the root directory, but as soon as I move it to the other directory "/directory/directory" the background color and header formatting are gone. I still have my tables in place, but everything else is messed up. Ideas? Help? Hi, I made a webpage using dreamweaver 8. When i preview the page in firefox it has not problems in design layout of the page but when i view it in IE it breaks the design format and is messed up. Can anyone guide me as to why it would do it and how i can fix it? Also, when i try to display some text in Chinese, it shows random characters. I changed the fonts in internet options to display Chinese but it didn't work. I have viewed Chinese websites and they i didn't have any problem in seeing the text. Any reason or suggestion as to why it would do this? I would really appreciate any help on this, Thanks, Hi all, I've been scouring the net for the past week+ looking for proper techniques to format a site using div tags. I found loads of general information, but nothing practical for me. I'm really not html savvy by any means and I used absolute position div tags to put this page together. I would love to know the proper way of formattting a site. To view the page and source code, you're welcome to take a look he http://tbsnyder.com/siteSetup Basically, what it is, is a huge section of AP div's and then a section of the div id's displaying all of the text/images, etc. For every div tag defined in css, there is the text/images that go with it underneath. I'm sure this is the wrong way to format a site, but it's the only way I know how to since I don't know html very well. If it would be easier to view by having the site on your desktop, I could upload a zip containing everything I would really appreciate any assistance that anyone could give me. edit: something I forgot to add is that one of the reasons I would like to properly format this page is to allow the content to auto-center as the user drags the browser window open. Right now, everything is stationary due to the AP div tags...I tried a few solutions, but everything seems to get overridden by the AP div's. I know CSS is useful for many many things. But I am trying to optimize my website as i'm designing, that way I don't have a giant project once i'm done. Here is my question: What would have a faster load time: Code: <html> <head> <LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="style.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen> <title></title> </head> <body> <div id=bold>Hello!</div> </body> </html> or: Code: <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <b>Hello!</b> </body> </html> Below is my simple table from a more complex table. The issue I am having is the first <td></td> is variable height. In my second <td></td>, "abc" should be at the top in that <td> and "def" should be at the bottom in that <td>, leaving some <void> space in the middle which will shrink or grow based on the first <td> height. Any tag(s) can be used inside is the second <td></td> Any suggestions? Thanks Code: <table> <tr> <td><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></td> </tr> <tr> <td> abc def </td> </tr> </table> Hi, I added a rich text editor into my html page for text area fields, let us say description field. The user enters the text, modify its color, changes its size and fonts... The value saved for this field in the database is: <font color="#ff00ff">description text </font> and is showing as it is on the screen. If I look at the source code of the page, I notice the following: <font color="#ff00ff">description text </font> The problem is that, there are two conversions happening: < Converted To < > Converted To > How should I avoid this conversion so that the description text appears in its right format taking into consideration the html tags. Note: in the head of the page, I have the following: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> I would appreciate any help. Best Regards, Lara I am trying to use a google custom search box on a website that I am making and I'm trying to integrate it nicely into the header. No matter what I try though, I can't seem to get the form box to sit in the center of the cell! I have tried formatting the form field, the form itself, the cell, and I haven't found any way to get it to line up with the text. Any insight would be appreciated http://kristybrandon.freehostia.com Ok.... I know this is my first post, and I wasn't quite sure where to post this, under html or scripting, but here goes. I run a website wherein I provide translations for Spanish lyrics. My layout is fairly straightforward, but I spend about 3/4 of my time formatting. Check out the following: http://thelandofoz.us/laposadadelosmuertos.html I have to insert all of my code by hand. My question is, is there anything that I can do to streamline this process? Is there perhaps a way to use a script to dynamically generate code like this from a plaintext file? When I do one of these pages, I usually copy the lyrics verse by verse, then translate them verse by verse like this: Alza tu cerveza, brinda por la libertad, bebe y vente de fiesta, pues el Infierno es este bar. Raise your beer, toast to freedom, drink and come to the party, for hell is this bar. SO... is there any way to make this easier on me? Hi All, Here is a small html file I have written. This is not formatting correctly in browser. Width is not recognised by browser. Thanks in advance for your help.
