HTML - Html Email Help
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 Similar TutorialsHi, 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? everytime i try to make this my html email, i get bad table padding and spacing but it looks good on webpages but not emails Code: <html> <head> <style> .body { background-color: #d6d6d6; } .content { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #D7D7D7; } A:link, a:visited, a:active { color: #00BFFF; } a:hover { color: #1AC8FF; } .simple { width: 800px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; height: 601px; }</style> </head> <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="#D8D8D8"> <table class=simple border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan="5" width="800"> <img src="http://www.megatopics.com/emails/images/Email_01.png" width="800" height="38" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="253"> <img src="http://www.megatopics.com/emails/images/Email_02.png" width="253" height="178" alt=""></td> <td width="267"> <img src="http://www.megatopics.com/emails/images/Email_03.png" width="267" height="178" alt=""></td> <td colspan="2" width="280"> <img src="http://www.megatopics.com/emails/images/Email_04.png" width="280" height="178" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <img src="http://www.megatopics.com/emails/images/Email_05.png" width="44" height="384" alt=""></td> <td width="770" height="340" colspan="3" valign="top" background="http://www.megatopics.com/emails/images/Email_06.png" class="content"> {member_name},<br> We have just launched a whole new system to MegaTopics, its Called The Reputation System!

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, 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 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 im not sure if this is the right section but ive been looking around and cant find what i need so im asking for help. i have a html form like so Code: <form name="riskform" method="post" enctype="text/plain" > <div id="formtop">Name: <br> <input type="text" name="Name" /><br /><br /> Company: <br> <input type="text" name="Company" /><br /><br /> Location:<br /><input type="text" name="Location" /> <br><br /></div><br /> <h2>Risk Selection</h2> <div id="list"> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Extream Weather" />Extream Weather</label><br /><br /> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Confined Space" />Confined Space</label><br /><br /> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Traffic" />Traffic</label><br /><br /> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Slip/Trip" />Slip/Trip</label><br /><br /> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Noise" />Noise</label><br /><br /> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Falling Object" />Falling Objects</label><br /><br /> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Machinary" />Machinery</label><br /><br /> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Equiptment" />Equiptment</label><br /><br /> <label><input type="checkbox" name="Construction Work" />Construction Work</label><br /><br /> </div> <div id="sub"><input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Submit'/></div><br /><br /> </form> and what i want to happen is when the user clicks submit this form is emailed to my site admin, ive looked at mailto: but i want the page to be email as a page view the same as how it looks if you print the page. hope that makes sense Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to send an html email with yahoo? thanks can anyone help me with this, it looks ok but it wont email Code: <form action="mailto:byp_webmaster@hotmail.co.uk" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="Website contact form"> <table border="1" align="center"> <td> <center>Your Name:</center><input type="text" align="center" size="40" maxlength="50" name="name"> <br><br> <center>Your Email:</center><input type="text" align="center" size="40" maxlength="50" name="Email"> <br><br> <center>Message:</center><textarea cols="50" rows="4" name="Message" align="center"></textarea><br> <center><input type="submit" value="Send Email" ></center> </td> </table> </form> 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.

Hello, i was wondering if it is possible to send emails with html tables in them. I have attached an image of the type of table i would like to create. thanks 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! i'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 I've been working on a graphical html email recently, and it's working out great except for one annoying issue (especially since I encourage email forwarding) my email is separated into multiple <table> tags to accomodate different images - i switched to inline images to make sure it worked properly, and each section has its own graphics, but there's nothing embedded, just a set of tables. however whenever the email is forwarded from within MS Outlook, the table tags get large gaps between them - as if the spacing between them is ignored. Is there a workaround for 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 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 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?
