HTML - Html, Background Images & Newsletter
Hi there,
I have the almost impossible task to create a newsletter (text + pics) that contains a background image and needs to be distributed using Microsoft Business Contact Manager (Microsoft Outlook add-on). So, can you tell me if background images are 100% good html or not? If yes what could I be doing wrong (CSS, links to images...) Please help Marco Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm trying to build a newsletter for a company. This thing has to be sent via e-mail so all the styling has to be done inline I have pretty much everything right, except for the background. I want to use a gradient that aligns to the bottom (bottom of content, not bottom of viewport) over the entire width of the screen (5px wide, repeat-x) However: when I go to the page, the gradient is in the bottom of my viewport. When I scroll down, I go below that gradient. Anybody have any idea how I can get that gradient down? (so far only IE6 behaves the right way, Safari and Firefox do not) tnx 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! 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? Hi everyone, I've been searching around the web trying to find out how I can send using Outlook a html and text email newsletter automatically. I am quite happy creating html only newsletters, and text ones for that matter, but I have been digging and believe that by using multi-part code I can send to both and the recipients email client "allows" whichever version to be displayed - does this sound right? I'm hoping to simply create the html with the relevent mime references and boundaries (dont know what they are but have seen them on enough Google'd pages to know that they mean something!) and then copy and paste into Outlook - the newsletter is only going out to a few people at a time. Any suggestions or advice would be very greatly appreciated. Regards Allan I have created an html newsletter which is just about ready. I am trying to add a header image to top cell of table however when I preview the table expands and I get a bunch of whitespace. Image is set width and in edit mode appears fine. I am using Sharepoint Designer and Web Expression 2 but not luck removing all the whitespace. Any suggestions? thx Hello to all. I have designed a newsletter in html that i am ready to email out to people. Only thing is the client wants the image to be displayed instantly with no attachments. So basically embedded into the email. Does anyone know how to do this? Reading other people's comments i am sure there is a way. If i insert the html ito the email itbecomes an attachment which i do not want? PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks Gray Hi, I'm trying to insert HTML in Lotus Notes and I'm having problems figuring out how to do this... Currently it gives me the option to send a message in either rich text or plain text, but I see no option for HTML. The HTML newsletter has already been developed, I'm just trying to get it inserted in Lotus Notes- Can anyone help?? Hey, I built an email newsletter for a friend of mine using GoLive! It was fairly simple he wanted a header graphic and a green box on the left where he could put information about classes he was teaching/things relating to the articles in the email newsletter. Problem is... is that none of the ways I found to build it would come through safely in any email client, be it gmail, thunderbird, or otherwise. I was hoping to find one of two things: a good template we could paste his stuff into, or a free program that we could build his newsletter that would be generally readable in most mail clients. What advice would you offer to me, I'm not extensively familiar with HTML again, i just recently got back into it after a break (too long, cuz i know little to nothing now except how to pick apart and analyze code, just not how to build from scratch!) Hence why I was using Adobe GoLive. If you could recommend a template or a program that would be free, that'd be fine... otherwise any comments or info would be great. thanks. hi! we are sending newsletter to clients. we are doing like: 1)creating newsletter in dreamweaver 2)running on brower 3)copy the entire layout using ctrl+a and 4) pasting it on new message window in outlook 5)its displaying as i copied everything is fine. its reaching to clients as we sent. the problem is the newsleter take more than 100 kb while its going. but actual size is just 50 only. so pls suggest what is the problem exactly. how to recude the file size or is there anyother way to send newsletter via outlook. pls suggest me And i am having a problem. Here is an example i made for the problem. It is being made my someone who has no knowledge of html in dreamweaver and then the code being tweaked by someone who knows html to be perfect. A sample line of code that comes up is this. <!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"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <img width="195" height="755" src="file:///C|/Users/dog/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/OfficeImageTemp/clip_image002_0003.png" align="left" hspace="12" vspace="10" alt="Text Box: blah blah. " /> </body> </html> When i try to test emailing the file the picture does not show up. I know the reason. It is because it is on my computer and it cant find it. But the question is how do i get around this? The pictures and pieces of the newsletter are being made in a combination of Microsoft Word and Photoshop. Would i have to upload each picture to the internet and do it that way? Or is there a way i can imbed the pictures into the newsletter? I am using this through a yahoo email address using a program that allows you to send emails with html content through emails that do not allow html, such as yahoo. I appreciate any help. Thanks in advanced. Hi, I am currently creating a HTML e-newsletter, and need the frame/template to essentially remain static. In other words, when the recepient alters the size of their preview/display panel in their email program (eg Outlook), the column widths/spacing and text size remains the same. Could anyone please advise as to how this is done? Thanks! 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! I'm trying to put a background on my website Im using Wordpad I put the code in but it's coming up as a image not as a background. <body BACKGROUND="...."> Am i using the rong code? I just wanted to know if we can put 2 background images in the same webpage ? The first 200 pixels (height) should have one image and the rest of the webpage should have another image. Is this possible in anyway ? Thnx in Advance Hi, this is probably an easy question, but I'm a complete html newb so here goes: I want to put an image on my nevada refinance website of a house or something and then set it into the background so I can overlay a form for submitting your zipcode to get free mortgage quotes. I've found suggestions for setting a background image for the whole page, but I don't want to do that, just put an image on the page and set it into the background to the text box goes over the top. Can someone give me a little advice on how to do this? Hi, I'm trying to put some background images into my web page. But in this case I don't wan't them to cover all the background, nor to repeat themselves. I wan't different images as a backgrond. One would be the head banner at the top, the other one would be the image as background of the index and navigation bar at the left and the other image would be the one that serves as background to the site's content to the right. I need to know how to align this images into the exact position I need them to be, and how to upload this images. I used this code: TD width=160 background="imagename" border="0"" height=345></TD> however, it doesn't takes it as a background but as an image and it pushes the text down instead of being behind. So, please if someone could explain me about this I would be very grateful. Thanks a lot. Hey All Groovie forum you got here Ok, now to my main point... I want to be able to stretch a image (banner) fully across the screen. I dont want to adjust the height, just make it run from one to side to the other. Also how do I stretch the background image to fullscreen without css? Cheers I have a centered background image, with a navigation div over the image. Now, I want to put my body div under the picture, CENTERED, and the only way I know how is to use <br /> This is my problem. When I put <br />'s, it looks good in one browser, but terrible in another. Is there some way, hopefully in CSS to center AND absolutely position my div? |
