 Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 1:26 pm Step by Step HTML Email Please! |
 |
|
|
I've read up on just about every html email tutroial I can find. I don't need to know how to code, I want to know where I place the code in the email for it to show up when I email it.
I've tried to write it directly into the actual message(Just get code)
I've tried to open an HTML document and the message ends up being an attachment.
I know there is some really mundane detail I'm missing here, but I don't know what it is. All the sites I've looked at just talk about coding and how to code for email, none of them descirbe the process of either inserting the code into the email or emailing it so it won't look like code. Help!!!!
Please!!! This is frustrating.
By the way I've been using Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook Express. It's obvious I have no clue about what I'm doing. Someone please walk me through it as if I were a small child. Thanks. |

Zebrasan - I'm so glad I'm not the only one!
I'm currently going mad - apparently it's so easy no one actually has to explain how to do it 
I've been designing web pages for 3 years now & can do the HTML thing fine - but can't work out how to actually send the thing! 
Please someone help us - what is this simple step we are missing?
P.s. I'm trying to send from Microsoft Office Outlook |

If you want to send emails with only HTML (no server side languages like PHP or ASP), the best way to do this is with the help of a form processor which will send the email straight to your inbox. An example of such a free form processor is Mail-Maniac. There are lots of html form mailers but I like this one since it allows you to set your own redirect page, the page it will take the visitor to after it has send the email. I checked Mail-Maniac and this is what I found on their example page:
| Quote: |
<form name="formname" method="post" action="http://www.mail-maniac.com/">
<input type="hidden" name="mailto" value="mailto(at)address.com">
<input type="hidden" name="from" value="mailfrom(at)address.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Subject line">
<input type="hidden" name="fromname" value="Your name">
<input type="hidden" name="goto" value="http://www.thankyoupage.com">
<input type="text" name="sometextfield"><br />
<input type="text" name="anothertextfield"><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
|
Just edit the bold parts and it should work on every site. mail maniac will attach everything to the email, as long as it's between the <form> and </form>. Just place all your inputbox, radiobuttons etc between those tags and you're safe 
good luck with it!
