That's It...I will never attempt to put any special code in the newsletter

Jim · 2004-03-02, 11:52 AM

I do a simple tip and trick on how to make tables. Send the test to both Greenguy and myself. It looks fine...
I just got my newsletter and guess what??? It is screwed up...

From now on, only words

djhits · 2004-03-02, 12:12 PM

it looked fine here

Surfn · 2004-03-02, 12:24 PM

I didn't see any code...I did see tables at the end. Of course I already know tables. lol

Jim · 2004-03-02, 12:27 PM

Surfn
You saw what I saw

EclectiXXX · 2004-03-02, 12:29 PM

Yes it was seriously screwed up. That's the problem with E-Mail (each system interprests stuff differently)... Perhaps you need to set up a spot where code can be posted and do a link or an RSS feed to it...

Surfn · 2004-03-02, 12:30 PM

Keep at it Jim. You're bound to get it right. I volunteer to beta test the newsletters...since I'm not eligible to win anything

Greenguy · 2004-03-02, 12:46 PM

I think there's a problem with your system between your keyboard & your chair

Just put up an html page & link to it (that means more clicks for us anyway - LOL)

Warning user error! Replace user and press any key.

Put the code within a text form field.

<form>
<textarea rows="16" cols="73">
Text or Code that you would like displayed
</textarea>
<form>

Jim · 2004-03-02, 01:55 PM

Doesn't matter Cleo, I am done with it.
Greenie and I both saw the tests and they were fine. And yet, when the mail went out, it screwed it up.

From now on...Tips and Tricks are going to be only words.

Boogie · 2004-03-02, 02:55 PM

Worked just fine for me!

and jim, dont give up on the special code! That was great information today for beginners and people who arent up on tables.

Perhaps creating a page tutorial and linking to it in that section would be best, but either way, that's the kind of knowledge that is very very useful

I liked it anyways |rasta|

djhits · 2004-03-02, 03:01 PM

maybe im stupid, but i thought everything looked fine today

Cleo · 2004-03-02, 03:13 PM

I got a blank where the code was suppose to be.

This means that my e-mail program parsed the mail's code correctly and displayed an empty table.

The only way I know to prevent code from being parsed is to put in inside of a form's text area.

Some mail programs may have been more forgiving and somehow managed to display the html code as text, but since there would be no reliable way to know if the code should have been parsed or displayed it would have been hit or miss.

it looked fine for me, the only thing I was missing was the big red bold text telling me I was $1,900 richer

It looked good here as well.

venturi · 2004-03-05, 12:18 AM

Jimbo!

Next time enclose the HTML code you want to use in an HTML formatted e-mail with the <pre> ... </pre> tags. It turns off parsing so that anything between those tags should be interpretted as literal text. Any email client that doesn't recognize that syntax should be summarily castrated.

Fonz · 2004-03-05, 05:06 AM

Just put in screenshots

ShermsShack · 2004-03-05, 05:11 AM

See what happens when you try to help people?!?!

Actually, it worked fine in my newsletter. |afro|

I wonder how that red code is being put in the newsletter - cause I know at least my email reader will put a blank spot if any font code or formatting is used in the email - parses it right out of there
