Re: HTML Email template question
If you ever have issues with validation of HTML use the W3 validation tools. This is found at: http://validator.w3.org/ Your language has a few problems. First, you are using body in the head CSS (even though this is commented out it still causes problems). Later on your CSS references a type of body which is not acceptable. There's a few others - an invalid use of span etc. Run the HTML code through the validator and they lay it out really well. And the others were right about needing the full path for the IMG tag.

Re: HTML Email template question
Hi, While going through the code we found that the line break tag 'br' has not been closed anywhere in the code. It should be ended up properly as /br. For e.g. in the below code the line break tag has been started, but it doesn't seem to end up anywhere. Existing code: br img src=mc_sm.jpg border=0 br Correct Code: (small snippet from the code) br img src=mc_sm.jpg border=0 /br HTH -- Regards, ITSM Support Vyom Labs Pvt. Ltd.

Re: HTML Email template question
Hi, the existing code is correct. Line break must never have content, and it must never be closed.

Re: HTML Email template question
Is the image available to the internet? If the image is hosted on an internal web server that cannot be accessed from the internet, then the image may not be able to be downloaded to the other mail clients. Also, your img src doesn't look right to me. In my templates I use the full path to the image on the web server. Since the html email is not hosted on a web server and is being displayed locally on the mail client, the mail client needs to know where to find the image. Here is how I reference an image im my email templates: img border=0 src=http://remedy.mycompany.com/email/my_image.jpg; width=120 height=51/td James On Tuesday, July 3, 2012 12:41:49 PM UTC-4, Remedy_Mark wrote: ** Hi All, I have an interesting challenge with an image in a HTML email template.

Re: HTML Email template question
Mark; HTML can really be hacked up by recipients... especially mobile devices or even Lotus Notes. It's really difficult for mass mailers to get HTML email to look good across all systems. Here's a link to a tool that I've personally found incredibly helpful by displaying your code in a host of formats, and you can run a few tests for free: http://litmus.com/email-testing Have fun; R _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Brittain, Mark Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 11:42 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: HTML Email template question ** Hi All, I have an interesting challenge with an image in a HTML email template.
