HTML - E-mail Template, Help With Width (in Outlook)
Hi,
So I've been building my first e-mail template, and it has been much more difficult than I imagined. Right now I am trying to apply a width to a table but when I check in the Outlook e-mail client (if the person had no images selected in that client) The linked text displayed inside the broken image, breaks my width styles and the template displays at 100% the width available. Here Is My Code: HTML Code: <head>

Thanks so much for your help, Nicole Similar TutorialsHi guys, Could you please help me in giving the code that takes data from the fields in HTML form and when submit button is clicked the mail has to go to the intended user through Microsoft office outlook. Please help me... its very urgent Thanks & Regards Karteek Challa Hello all, I am currently building an HTML newsletter complete with graphics and it is all set up and appears fine in my IE and other web browsers. However, now I want to actually place this HTML and graphics in the actual e-mail form and test it. This may sound like like a stupid question, but does anyone know how to do this? For the life of me I can't think of any way to actually embed an .html file (or just the HTML coding) inside of an email and have it appear inside of say.. a Yahoo, MSN, google, or outllook express email form. I need to be able to do this to test an send my e-newsletter. I've searched the net for tutorials on how to do this but have come up empty handed. Any ideas on how to go about this? Thanks in advance! hello all how could i export an outlook signature from MS OUtlook 2003? THanks Hello guru, I want a hyperlink from the email address to go straight to outlook express. What is the code that i type in? Thanks for all of your help guru Hi Folk, Need some help, I have couple of WebPages sitting in a folder on a share drive, the webpage are a simple form to collect data, when the user clicks on submit. The form will use Outlook to email the data. The problem is the user has to click yes to Outlook security popup window. I have been asked to address this. Is there a simple program that I could install in the folder to deal with the transferring of the data without using Outlook. Hello, 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 all, I'm trying to create a web application module that allows users to bookmark links to favourite applications on their client PCs. One of these applications I want them to be able to access is Outlook. Any ideas how this can be done using Javascript? What I hope to be able to do is to launch Outlook from an "a href" link. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Hi I have just designed my first html eshot and tested it on different email clients using Mailchimps inbox inspector. Its fine across all clients as far as I can see except for Outlook 2007 & 2010. The image on the left moves out of place quite a bit. Outlook 2003 and all others are fine, its just 2007 & 2010 causing the problem. Weblink (how it should look) Outlook 2007 & 2010 (how it shouldn't look) Outlook 2003 (just fine) Does anybody know whats wrong? I'v tried all sort and it nothing is working, its driving me crazy! Dam you outlook! Thanks! Hello, Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I have an HTML page that has an Outlook View Control. Something simple like this: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>View Control</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />

<body style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;">
<div>
<script src="email-inbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
the javascript file has only this: Code: // inserts the <object> and <embed> tags to circumvent the new restriction in IE (since April 11 2006)
document.write('<object id="ViewCtlFolder" classid="CLSID:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046" width="100%" height="180px"><param name="Folder" value="Inbox" /></object>');
The problem is that when Microsoft Outlook is not installed this will fire a Javascript error. I want to avoid that error and display a message like "Microsoft Outlook not installed". Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks, Jared well i have a link which points to an email address using mailto <a href="mailto:abct@gmail.com">abc@gmail.com</a> which opens an outlook express window.....i want this window to be of a specific size of my choice..... how do i implement it ??? 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? Tiggy <html><head><title id="ridTitle">Citrus Punch</title> <style><!-- body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt; font-style: bold; color: #ff6633; margin-top: 25px; margin-left: 25px; } --></style> </head> <body id="ridBody" background="background2.jpg"><center><img id="ridImg" src=KeaneLogo.jpg align=bottom></center> <p></p> <b><SPAN id="_AthCaret"></SPAN></b> <p></p> </body> </html> im creatinh a box containing a text. The box must be wide enough to fill a text. menu.style.width = tekst.length - this functioin gives the number of letters in text. So if the text is "hello" then the width is 5 pixels. But i need the widith of pixels needed to fit the text in a box. How can i do that? I have a client who's dead-set on sending out their own HTML emails via Outlook. 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! 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! Hey everyone. I'm having a problem with a stationery model I'm trying to create. In order to create a 100% width header, I've created a table which goes something like this: HTML Code: <table width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <td width=100% background=XXX.jpg> <img src="YYY.jpg"></img> </td></table> So, this header has a left aligned image which seamlessly blends into the table background. Everything works just fine here. But when I send the message, only the image YYY gets an CID assigned and actually reachs the destination. The background image XXX does not appear on the recipients e-mail client. What do I do? Thanks for the help!! Felipe Hello I am designing a MS Outlook email template using Dreamweaver. All I want to do is string together 3 images on the same line, but it's proving to be much more difficult than I thought! Each image is a button, with a hyperlink to a web page. I'm quite a perfectionist and it's important that the images sit flush together, and when viewed in Firefox or IE, they do! Here's a snippet of the code. <img src="corporate.png" width="134" height="36" /><img src="visitus.png" width="134" height="36" /><img src="aboutus.png" width="134" height="36" /> It is very very basic, but for some reason, when I load the code into MS Outlook, guess what happens? A small white space appears between each image and I don't know what's causing it. It's important that I remove this white space because I've got a banner sitting above these buttons which is of fixed length. I need the end of the 3rd button to sit below, but in line with the end of the banner, but when the white spaces are added, it overshoots I've tried playing around with 'hspace' and 'vspace' tags, but MS Outlook 2007 does not recognise these tags. I thought I could get around this by stringing the buttons together as one image and then use the hotspot tool to break the image up, but MS Outlook doesn't recognise hotspots either! I think I've explained this fully and I really hope somebody can help me. I've been googling solutions to this for hours but to no avail. Thank you all. David |
