I have drawn a blank. I am creating an HTML document in FP2000 (for
an email) and want to insert a page from my website to appear in the
email when received.

No problem in adding a hyperlink in the email, just can't figure out
how to insert a web page.

Thanks,

Brooks
 
Most easily done in Outlook Express (not Outlook).
Create the HTML page in FP2000
Then Select All, Copy
Then create a new email in OE (with Format HTML enabled).
Paste

Much harder to do in Outlook.
Keep in mind a lot of people do NOT have HTML email reception enabled, so you should provide a link to your web page too..you should put this in clear text at the top of the page sent.
 
Also keep in mind that if you have links on your page into your site that
are not ABSOLUTE links, those will fail in the email.

Thanks for your help, guys. Very good tips. I am obviously doing
something wrong. When I copy the page from my website, the text is
fine, however, the images that make up the page only show as blocks.
They do not refer to the actual page on the Internet. Any idea what I
am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Brooks

Click to expand...


Find the <IMG> tags and make sure the SRC attribute points to your full URL.
 
You have to manual change the code for all images on the page to be absolute URLs to the image,
i.e., http://www.yourdomainname.com/images/imagefile.jpg

Hi
You can also cut and past the webpage from frontpage into word. then click
file-send to mail recipient word will then embed all the images in the
email before sending. works in word 2003 anyway

Obviously you're not using absolute links!

The http:// address for the <img src> tags have to point ot the images on a
web server -they're not embedded into the email.

Otherwise the email would be huge - i.e.. along with the text, it would have
to include all the images as well. so effectively Outlook Express is a
sort-of browser and what you're viewing is a web page within your mail
client....but that begs the question "why not stick with providing a link to
the original web page?"

Not all mail readers read in html format.
 
I believe OE does embed them thats why it's easier in OE than in O.
 
we went through this before didn't we, only i forgot...so how does OE display the images if they are *not* stored on the net?
 
OE does embed images with using it's Stationery function.

Wait...youse guyse are getting confusted.

I open a local test web with FP on my machine, nothing in this web is on the live server.
I Select All - everything on page - images, text etc.
Copy

Open OE
Create New Email
Paste
Everything appears just like the web page.

I email it to my wifes machine waaaayyyyy on the other side of the room.
The html email is perfect.
Where are the images coming from if they are not embedded?
There are no links (cause they're not published on the web) and my wifes machine cannot see my locally stored images either.
 
I'm not confused... I agreed that OE embeds the images.

sheet..sorry...guess i need new specs i thought you had said it doesn't (i meant I was confusted...not you, anyway)

I wonder why people try to do this with Outlook, when in OE it's a piece o'cake.
 
The cake has been squished by the time it gets to my Mac, however. OE is a
poor way to send HTML emails.

Bulleted lists get extra bullets. Anchor tags get written to the screen.
And so on....

You're using a MacMurray? :-)

I've only used OE a few times for simple newsletters...the audience is all OE anyway so it hasnt been a prob. for me.
 
I use both. I always test my pages on PC and Mac.
