HTML - Html Email In Outlook - No Background Images
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! Similar TutorialsHi all, I am scratching head for couple of days . I have a HTML page ,this has to be send through MicrosoftOutlook Express.When i click the internal link it has to go to the section of page,but the link it self is not enabling,its not working. thanks in advance My HTML page ---------------------- <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>Working Process Summary</title> </head> <body> <table class="newsletterboarder" style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="751" align="left" border="0" id="table2"> <tr> <td><b><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"> <img style="WIDTH: 782px; HEIGHT: 145px" alt="Working Process" border="0" v:shapes="_x0000_s1032"></span></b></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="header" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 3px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 14px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: #ffffff; PADDING-TOP: 3px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; HEIGHT: 20px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #336699"> Working Process 14 November2007</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-RIGHT: 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 5px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid" height="2543"> <div class="tableholder" title="Release Overview" style="WIDTH: 764px; HEIGHT: 210px"> <div class="tabletitle"> Information - Overview </div> </div> <div class="twoColumn_component"> <div class="rightColumn" style="WIDTH: 342px; HEIGHT: 159px"> <h2 class="blue">General Information</h2> <ul> <li><a href="#info7">Upcoming Dates & Events</a> </li> <li><a href="#info8">Detailed Status Information </a></li> </div> <p class="retop"><a title="#top" href="#top">Return to Top</a></p> <ul> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Issue (P2) : </b>info<br> <b>Action Plan: </b>Team is analyzing </li> </ul> </blockquote> <strong>Key Upcoming Milestones </strong> <ul> <li>Post Project Assessment <li>.</li> </ul> <p class="retop"><a title="#top" href="#top">Return to Top</a></p> <a id="#info3" title="#info3" href="#info3"></a> <h2 class="blue"> Release <strong> </strong></h2> <ul> <li <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><font face="Arial">RMSPRs</font> information format</span></font></span> </li> <li <font style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt" face="Arial">info mailed.</font></span></span></span> </li> <li><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"> <font face="Arial">Target </font><span class="112494500-31102007"><font face="Arial">Development has started. </font></span></font></span> </span></span></span></li> <li><font style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt" face="Arial">Info follows.</font> </li> <li><font style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt" face="Arial">Coming with info.</font> </li> <li><font style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><span class="112494500-31102007"> <b><font face="Arial">Potential projects </font></b></span></font> <ul> <li><font style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt" face="Arial">Out ongoing </font></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>None </li> </ul> <strong>Key Upcoming info </strong> <ul> </ul> <p class="retop"><a title="#top" href="#top">Return to Top</a></p> <ul> <li>None </li> </ul> <ul> <li>.</li> </ul> <p class="retop"><a title="#top" href="#top">Return to Top</a></p> <strong>Key Issues and Risks </strong> <strong>Key Upcoming Milestones </strong> <ul> <p class="retop"><a title="#top" href="#top">Return to Top</a></p> <h2 class="blue">OOCRs for the week 11/12 to 11/16</h2> <p class="retop"><a title="#top" href="#top">Return to Top</a></p> <h2><a name ="info7">Upcoming Dates & Events</a></h2> <ul> <li>NEw info to be made available: 11 July </li> </ul> <p class="retop"><a title="#top" href="#top">Return to Top</a> </p> <h2 ><a name ="info8">For Detailed Information</a></h2> </tr> <tr> <font size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <font size="1"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> </tr> </table> </body> </html> thanks in advance 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. Hello, let me begin by saying that I know absolutley nothing about HTML but have been put in a position to learn a little I have made a dinky HTML page in MS Word 07 that we are trying to email to some folks on newsletter list and I am having an issue. When I send the test file to myself the images don't load. From what I understand they need to be hosted in order to load correctly. 2 Questions: 1) Can I host them on photobucket? 2) How in the heck do I get them to display properly??? I.E. Where does the IMG tag go? If anyone can help me I can post the source code and the IMG tags from photobucket...... Thanks! 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 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 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 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, When a member joins up to my site I have they receive an email automatically telling them they have joined... Can I put a logo in that email? Or can it only be text? 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'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? 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. 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 |
