Newsletter - including images
27 July 2005, 07:09


OK, so I installed the newsletter mod that I've just downloaded from SnitzBitz (newsletter_mod-34-234.zip). The aim being to send all forum members a newsletter in HTML format that is basically just a banner ad, BUT ...

I get the html formatted email, but no banner. The HTML code looks fine, just that I don't get the image.

Any tips on what I am doing wrong ?<

For the sake of arguement, did you double check and make sure that HTML E-mail is enabled in your e-mail client? And do you have an ad-blocker installed?
I have the Pro version of Zone Alarm, and I noticed that it cuts out all of the banners from my HTML formatted e-mails...
Just a thought. (I'd rather triple-check the simple stuff than spend a few hours code hacking to find that my firewall blocked the image)<

I get other HTML emails fine, and those emails have images in them - that's why I'm completely lost on this one.

There is a problem in the HTML. I saw in there where some of your properties for one of the td tags doesn't have a closing " and is therefore makeing a large chunk of the HTML as part of the property.
Because of the errors in the red parts of the HTML, its not rendering parts of the e-mail properly.

Code:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<table border=0 align=center width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 bgcolor=#BFBFBF>
<tr>
<td>
<table border=0 width=100% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=4>
<TR>
<TD height=26 width=100% align=center bgcolor=white" background="bg5.gif> <font face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica size=2 color=black>
<b> NewsLetter - Test</b>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=center bgcolor=white" background="bg5.gif> <font face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica size=2 color=black>
This is not SPAM, you requested to join the Newsletter list
</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=#8c8c8c>
<font face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica size=2 color=#e9e9e9>
Newsletter for 7/28/2005:
<br><br>
<img border=0 src="http://www.driftaustralia.com.au/Rd3_promo.jpg">
<br><br>
<font face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica size=2 color=#e9e9e9>
You can use this area for a closing message, if not delete this before it is sent. </font>
. . . . etc.

I found what was wrong ... I had the header cell mod installed, which breaks the newsletter mod. Fixed it in about 10 minutes.<
