Hi,

I'm trying to make a sales/marketing email and have created it in Dreamweaver (I don't know how to hard code).

When I paste it into Outlook, it either pastes as non-formatted text, or it pastes correctly with the formatting intact, but when I press the hot buttons (such as an image 'back to top' button), a script error 'Object Expected' is generated.

I've found that if I choose 'html' format for the email format, it pastes correctly, but the script errors still occur. It works fine in the browser, only when I send it in an email does it not work. I've also inserted the associated images as attachments into the email.

The point is to try and send our clients snazzy looking sales emails, without them having to click into another application -- that the email is standalone.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Many thanks
Sam
 
Make sure that image sources and links contain the full path of your website.

Ie: if an image is found under /html/email/images make sure in your email the path is
The full link is required as those who will be receiving your email wont be visiting your server (website) but reading it from their pc.

Same applies for scripts.

Hope this helps
