MSNwar Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 Select "New" and the default email form opens. Select "HTML" from the drop down menu. Copy and paste the entire web page into the body. Make sure all the pics are hyperlinked properly. Thats it.Also go to the Microsoft Outlook web site and look at the templates and tutorials.Welcome to MSFN priti
priti Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 Thz....and i already tried in outlook site but its not much useful....as u said if i cut paste then the links doesnt work....and more i not suppose to copy the webpage and then paste it in the mail body.....that is the prob!!!!!!Any other suggestion...other than attachment now!!
Snoop Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 that works fine for me.you are copying and pasting the website and not the source code?EDIT: the links work fine on buttons and stuff aswell just tested it by sending my self an email
priti Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 The website...Not the source....any as i said im NOT SUPPOSE to copy and paste.............so anyone any tool or editor to do this???
MSNwar Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 If the text link(s) do not work then you are not in HTML Mode. The pictures have to be stored on a internet server (your own server or commercial server).You could always create a web based template and/or web page in MS Word (Web Layout Mode) and use that as a base. Then select email this page to an email receipient. Again, pictures have to be stored on a server.Otherwise, download a editable template from the Outlook site where the frames, borders, etc. are embedded (similar to a watermark) and use Word to create text links. The tutorials at the Outlook site will teach you how make your own and then you cae create embedded images. One email program that a lot of people like is called IncrediMail and it is free. It can do just about everything, http://www.incredimail.com/english/splash.htmlHope this helps.
priti Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 Format is on HTML only....and the link u suggested...tht product is good if i want my inbox to look fancy......but there is no option for composin the mail.........the background, text, colour, images ...its all there in the outlook also........nothing differernt....ya ofcourse the sound effect but i dont need tht............................or even the ms word as a editor is not sufficient..........i think u didnt get me..............................did u ever got an email from citi bank, or nbc news or anything like tht.....in those mail the content is like a webpage ....exactly like tht im lookin for.............here check this link.......(the mail be look like this........now its a webpage but the same should be in the mail content workin exactly same its workin now)http://www.sgemployers.comits something like this i want
MSNwar Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 I understand what you want to do and as I said you have to link to the images, etc on a server (your own or a commercial). Because you said no attachment right.You see, all those emails are created using an HTML editor or from scratch using notepad or similar. All those images, columns, forms, etc are stored on and linked to a server. The source code is just a simple right-click and view source code.Since you do want to make an attachment or cannot store the images etc on a server and the idea is to have a HTML based page I see no other options. The emails you describe, citi bank etc, are all linked to a server. Right click the body and select source. You will be presented with the source code. Notice that the code links everything to a server.
priti Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 Exactly.....thz god u understood :).........so i know the citi bank etc...they use server......................and my prob is i cant use server and hmmmmm no attachment.................so how to do this with html???
MSNwar Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 You can't. At least I do not know another way to do it like you specified.
priti Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 ......................hmmm but half of the thing can be with outlook.....check thishttp://www.slipstick.com/mail1/html.htm ...................but when some link is clicked its openin a pop up window ..............and hmmmm i dont wht pop up window............its should be in the same page.................like in the site www.sgemployers.com..........in the left navigation if u see there will be one option saying training course/workshop if u clicked tht its goes to a new page...and under tht there are options, if any option is selected then its goes down in the page and then u can click any of tht suboptions..............i want tht way...........
MSNwar Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 I am afraid I have already explained why you cannot do that in an email. Transitioning from one email document to another email document requires two email documents where one is attached to the original. Quite possible as you pointed out in web pages but not possible in email documents. Try to understand the differences between HTML based web pages and HTML email. The tutorials on the page you provided already explain all that in detail by the way.
Crispy Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 Ok ... if you wanna make an email that looks exactly like a webpage you can send it directly from frontpage (I figured you were using that) by choosing "Files ---> send". When you do this then you CAN'T use locally stored images! Likes this:Locally stored image. Won't be displayed:<img border="0" src="file:///D:/Documents and settings/PurplePhoenix/Documents/My web/download.gif" width="17" height="20">Image stored on webserver, (fx geocities)<img border="0" src="http://www.geocities.com/priti/download.gif" width="17" height="20">If you have java scripts, flash etc. it should also be externaly linked. If you problem is getting some free webspace, say so, there are planty of free web space services.Hope that helps ...
