Hi there ive been trying to embed images in emails and links like ocuk does in their newsletters for a hip hop mailing list and every time i create somthing it always ends up being text based no matter what i do, i use yahoo email to send and cant figure out if im missing somthing ;/. Can anyone help please? regards, TDeamon
Its just basic tabular html, even if its text image text image with no tables- thats fine. Also the images arnt gonna be that big its just an example. <html> <head> <title>HipHop and Urban Wear</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <table align="center" border="4" bordercolor="#993366" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="500"> <tbody> <tr> <td><font color="#993366" face="verdana"><b> Ozzys, Scotland! </b></font> <p> <table cellpadding="5"> <tbody> <tr valign="top"> <td> <a href="www.ozzys.co.uk"><img src="http://www.g3designs.org/ozzys/ozzylogo2%20copy.jpg"></a></td> <td><font face="verdana" size="-1"> <b>Texts </b><br> Some texts </font></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <a href="www.ozzys.co.uk"><img src="http://www.g3designs.org/ozzys/ozzylogo2%20copy.jpg"></a></td> <td><font face="verdana" size="-1"> <b>texts </b><br> texts </font></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <a href="www.ozzys.co.uk"><img src="http://www.g3designs.org/ozzys/ozzylogo2%20copy.jpg"></a></td> <td><font face="verdana" size="-1"> <b>texts </b><br> texts </font></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </p> <p><font face="verdana"> tests </font></p> <p></p> <center><font face="verdana"><b><a href="www.ozzys.co.uk">Ozzys Urban Wear </a></b></font></center> <hr> <font face="verdana" size="-2"></font> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html>
was totally under the impression that, you could just use normal html in an email and if you got it setup in your inbox to execute the html it would read any html especially if its as basic as that ;/
you trying to send it using yahoo webmail ? or through a seperate program ?? might need to change those links to include HTTP://
yep tried it through webmail, tried gmail my uni email and yahoo. Do you think i need to try it through a pop3 account or somthing?
Ok i didnt know that, now i know =p Any recomendations then ? Can i just use say outlook with my pop3 yahoo or blueyonder details? Kindest regards, TD
Sorry for not editing my previous posts and adding to them...... But im a bit desperate to get this stuff done =/ I asked my brother to send me the code through his pop3 account at work and i still recieve it as code. Any help appreciated on what client/email provider to use to send the html out so recipients recieve it as formatted html THANKS very much for all the help so far kindest regards, TD
You can't send HTML through anything unless you do it manually. E-mail clients will convert the HTML to the literal strings rather than HTML tags. What you can do is use Outlook or similar and compose a message in HTML format by hand (ie using the interface with the bold, image buttons etc)
save your page in the outlook stationary folder and then just use the "new mail using" tab and select your page might be worth a try, better off using php or asp to do it instead...
nice of them to hide it out of the way though... not like its usefull or anything actions > new mail using > more stationery (one day i will learn to spell i promise) make sure you set all your image link borders to "0" and add the http:// before your links and it should work first time
OH thanks so much for the help ClearChaos, gonna try it in a bit and let you know how i got on ) /hugs!
Hey thanks so much for the help, i managed to create the emails in outlook using the html template, was quite simple ) Thanks again!
