HTML - Html Email Creation
Hi,
I am a beginner in HTML. I would like to create an HTML email form with following specification: - Design a small page like an email form. the contents of From are, a dropdown list of recepients, Subject, message body also. Sending email should be self (outlook should not be used) - When user press submit, it should go to the designated recepient as html. the content should appear in the recepient's computer like an HTML news letter. What should i do to achieve this? Please provide me some step-by-step procedure. Please remember, I dont want to use ASP for this. I appreciate all of yours help. Similar Tutorialsi'm new to the world of html and need a little help on something. i create emails for companies to communicate w/their clients that mainly consist of a colored background w/ colored text/fonts. the initial problem was getting the colors to be displayed at the receiving addresses. but i learned how to increase the table and managed to have the chosen background color to display. this is the code for that: <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="98%" bgColor=#54726d> <tbody> <tr> <td> the problem i'm still having is getting the text color to display. as of now it shows as black. the font displays, but not the color. this is important, as i usually use a dark background w/light colored text. if the text is black it is hard to read. and i'd also like to know what in the above code made the background display at all. before the above code was added the bgcolor was in the 'body style' section of the code and did not show in the receiving addresses. i am curious about this, as i receive many emails w/colors and borders. (my test receiving email addresses are gmail, hotmail, and excite) thanks! rich Dear Members, i am new to this forum. now i plan to develop a topic based directory and i want the all the product links and company names should be simple HTML file and at the same i wanted to be searchable, reorderable and etc.. i dont know how to do that and what technology to use and at the same time i seen some sites ( Example www.monsterindia.com , www.alibaba.com ) done the same thing can any one help / guide me exploring the technology Thanks in advance having a bunch of jpeg images, i need to create a html table listing all the jpegs in a folder, like <td><img src="image1"></td> <td><img src="image2"></td> <td><img src="image3"></td> is there a small software or script so i could do it? finally i want to have something that looks like this: http://www.victorboyko.com/runway/ss...aakhmadullina/ thank you! Hi, so I'm trying to make this e-mail newsletter. It's entirely images, tables and text. So no javascript, just plain stuff. I tried attaching it as a signiture file and I had trouble sending it. It also didn't come out right. I'm trying to avoid using a software. Its basically just a block of HTML I need to show up as the only content in an email. If you just put HTML into a email text field, it just shows the HTML code in the email as text. Any ideas? I have to send an HTML email, but I'm missing something. I have my HTML page encoded, and I put Outlook on HTML mode, but when I send the email, the receiver still only gets a bunch of code, not the nice-looking HTML Layout we've worked so hard on. I'm opening the HTML's source code, copy/pasting it in the body of the email. Obviously this is wrong. Can someone please tell me how it's supposed to be done? And yes I know HTML emails are evil, no I'm not a spammer, and I know I'm facing an army of filters. But if someone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Hi Everyone, I just created an email template that i want to send out and i am getting lots of errors when I'm testing it. All my images are showing up as attatchments, Can i prevent this? My page doesn't work across all browsers, spacing issues in gmail, hotmail is giving me and extended height in a few places. I have a search box as well that I want to include- is that a bad idea? How can avoid this / fix these problems. If requested i will include my code. Thanks Hi, I am using an email newsletter system, wherein I can create HTML templates and then send mails. I would like to know in the email that I send, I need the html to pick up some dynamic content from another website and when the email is being displayed, it needs to show that dynamic content I could have used iframe in the html template - but that would work on websites, but not on emails. Is there a way anyone can suggest wherein I can achieve this? Thanks Hi, I want to ask is there any way to send email form html?? like php mail() is there something in php. Or sending by smtp???? I'm having trouble using html email. Everything works fine except the link I put in it. I need to have a link parents will click on which will take them to a webpage which will automatically register them. When I test it (on my Mac - sorry ... a real computer) it works great, but the parents of my students say the link doesn't work. I tested the email again by sending it to one of my fake yahoo.com email accounts, and sure enough, the link was NOT active. Here is what it looked like: <a href="register.php?id=1712">click here</a> Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong. hey guys im after some simple help i think. i have created a .psd for a html email i wish to send. i have sliced it up to how i would like it and i created the automated html. It all show ok in all web browsers and most email clients but not outlook 2007, i know there is a lot of issues with this email client but just wondered if you guys know any way to work around it. If i keep all the slices horizontal then it all fits fine but on the vertical ones which i need it kinds shifts them over the right so there the while vertical lines running through the page. i have attached the code any help would be more then appreciated.

thanks hi all, something I thought would be simple is, well, not so simple for me!! all that I want to do is send a complete html web page as an ordinary email so that people viewing it can click on the existing links and buttons.(for payments etc) I have tried sending it several times and on aol none of the headings/gif's n jpg's are displayed, using squirrel mail, some of the links are highlighted, however, some are missing. using outlook, well, no comment!!! surely there is an easy (hehe) way to send a whole hyml web page as an email? many thanks for all help, Ed Hi All, Does anyone know if a DOCTYPE declaration is necessary for HTML emails? I'm trying to improve our HTML email system and am wondering how this affects HTML email if at all, For example, all our emails state: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Should we switch to simply <html> to start the email? Or does it not matter? Just looking for some info on this... Hi i am looking for a bit of help creating an email form. I would like it to contain a table with 4 columns per row - the middle two cells would contain a drop down menu each. the form would have a send button which would send the results in an easy to read format to a pre-defined address. ideally it would work on hotmail, yahoo etc. i would be really grateful for any hints and tips anyone could give many thanks Hi all, Not sure if im posting in the right place but i am having some problems, well, a lot of issues, with an email im sending in outlook. As you can see outlook has put hue gaps in before each section, although the gap in the right column is supposed to be there. Any one have any advice on how to fix this? Its works well in every other email inbox... really stumped! Thanks for any help in advance. Matt Hi was wondering if anyone could help me in the right direction with html emails? I'm not doing something right and I dunno what it is! AGH! Anyhoo, would really appreciate your help if you can spare a mo.... I am issued with a .pdf, which I need to re-create as an html email. The graphics ned to look the same, and I have to make the text editable, so I have split the image into a table, which, when tested in Firefox, Explorer and Safari, work just splendidly! The table is only 600px wide, as I hear that emails should be no wider than 650. All the links work, there is no padding on any of the cells and the page displays perfectly in all browsers. However.... when the client put its on their server, customers who have hotmail, gmail or outlook7 accounts see a displaced image... the table is everywhere and is filled with white-space! Everything has to be built in plain HTML. I am not able to use styles, as the clients server does not support them. Does anybody have any idea what could be happening? If you need more info, I will do what I can to help! Thanks |
