have a question about sending HTML based email containing graphics. I am using the cdosys component to send an email from a ASP script. If the generated HTML message contains graphics, do I need to include those files as mail attachments to the email? Or as a easier solution is it possible to use a full URL to a image as a image source, if so how?
View RepliesCDO is perhaps the most obscure art in web programming, but I hope someone
would understand my issue. I have an ASP web application that needs to send
email messages in HTML format only -- there is no plain text version. The
messages are summaries of answers that people have input into an online
survey, and need to have a tabular form.
The following somewhat plausible code does not work:
dim OMsg
Set OMsg = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
OMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:return-path") = BounceEmail
OMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type") = "text/html"
OMsg.Fields.Update
The return path header is set as desired, but the content type header
stubbornly defaults to "text/plain". What is the secret to setting that
header?
I have seen lots of code examples on the MSDN site for setting the
content-type of body parts, but it seems needlessly complicated for my
situation and doesn't work on my system anyhow (unknown ProgID error). So I
was hoping to just set the message-level header to "text/html". (If I edit
one of the messages from my script in notepad, changing the header to
text/html by hand, it then is rendered correctly in email clients.)
1. I want users to type in their email address on a textfield, and after users press the "Submit" button. The info will automatically go to another person's email to receive a compliment, suggestion, etcetera.
2. Another is how to include the message written on a textarea of a form with the ASP code supplied below: Code:
I want to generate HTML based reports with ASP. But the problem which i m having is to controll the Paging operation while printing the reports.
Unlike the Professional reports softwares as Crystal Reports and Also the Data Reports of visual basic (which are controlling the Paging automatically), a mannually generated HTML based reports need some logic to perform paging operation while printing.
I m displaying details of a document after getting data from multiple tables of my database. Now i wanted to generate an HTML enabled email with the same
document as content. I m using ChilkatWebMail for this purpose which has a method
objMail.send([HTML Here]).
When i send this mail it generates error. Actual problem is organizing html data before sending. I can't write whole html in send() method. Because my html is very long and fetches data at runtime. I m also uses subroutines to perform individual tasks. So whenever i call a subroutine,it generates error.
On our website, a user can order products from us. When they "submit" the
order, the website designer has written some ASP code to auto send an email
to our Exchagne 2000 server. Due to the contents of the email, we need to
secure it... How can we send a "secured" email from ASp script or would
this not be a function of ASp at all but the server the email is being sent
from? There must be something in the ASP code to indicate the email needs to
be secured?
I'm sending email using CDO Message in HTML Formatted. There is no problem if client side is HTML Enable. But if it doesnt not, its showing all html tags in message body.
I've got another email prob. Does anyone know how to link an external stylesheet in an html email via asp? I've got this so far:

I have created a form in html that goes to an email which will supply the person with all contact info. So I need Two things to make this work:
1.) HTML page with email form and submit button (done)
2.) ASP page with code that validates all the info and mails the info to the persons email (dont have)
SO, I need some type of code that will validate this html document. Any Ideas ?
I have an ASP page working the way I want it to, no issues there. What I am trying to accomplish now is more on the graphic side. I have some hyper links on the left hand margin of the page. WHat I want to do is Color the width of that area different from the center of the page. Does anyone know how I can do that?
Can I add an image to the background adn have all the hyperlinks in the for front?
Is it just a color sertting in the form?
I have a client that wants to send HTML based email.
Building and sending isn't a problem, but he wants to include a plain text link at the top of the email that will display if the user doesn't not accept HTML email. Maybe it is the product we are using to send the email, but there is no way to include non-HTML formatted text in the email. Is there a way to send non-HTML and HTML in a single email?
I am creating both a text and html version of the same newsletter and
sending using CDOSYS.
Both of them incorporate a list of stories drawn from a database which are
assigned to a variable storyloop.
The text version works fine, but partway throught the html version when
viewed in Outlook 2000, it goes wrong. View source shows nothing obviously
wrong, except that partway through the storyloop, it just stops and then
goes onto the next section on the email.
Outputting storyloop to the browser gives perfect results, but if I remove
all parts of the html email and just assign storyloop to the .htmlbody, I
see that after exactly 1024 characters in the resulting email, I get ------
=_NextPart_000_0057_01C59E01.6E3F5F50--
Does anyone know why this would happen, and more importantly, what I can do
to correct it?
Is it possible to send an HTML email through CDONTS without formatting it
into one big long string?
Need help with sending HTML and Text email from ASP page. I want to specify both and depending on the receivers email reader the apropriate one should show. Any help or pointing to a source for MULTIPART MIME type is going to be greatly apreciated.
View Replies View RelatedI support a website. When we send HTML emails from out system, we generate a variable called "str". We set that str variable to the objMail.htmlbody property of the mail object. Frequently, random spaces appear in the email when it is received by the recipient, however those spaces do not always appear in the same place (yet frequently they do). additionally, we'll sometimes see some actual HTML code in the final email, and usually shows up as a complete tab, such as "<br>", or "< TD BGCOLOR='#FFFBF0'>".
View Replies View RelatedI've posted a thread a few days ago about a ASP.NET script that creates dynamic images.
Somebody mentioned that there is nothing similar to the System.Drawing class in the classic ASP.
Does anybody know which class could I use to create dynamic charts, like pie, or bar charts in old ASP, not ASP.NET? If yes, where can it be found? (Please no commercial components )
I dont need sophisticated charts, I need a class that allows me to dynamically create jpg or gif files, with methods similar to the System.Drawing namespace like createRectange, fillRectangle, drawLine etc.
Does anyone have any code examples on how to store a graphic image or binary file in an oracle database?

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to finish some ASP code for a webform of mine that takes values input into a form and upon hiting the submit button, emails the form in HTML format with all completed values in their respective boxes to the recipient specified.

I have a rather large form in HTML that needs to be sent as an email. The body of the email is approx. 400 lines (that's in HTML). Is it possible to somehow transfer the entire form to the asp mail script so that it automatically sets the body of the email to contain this form (with input)? Or do I have to write the body by hand in my asp script - like this:
line 001 Body = "<table><tr><td>some text & var1 & </td></tr> "
... ..
line 200 Body = Body & "</table>"

How to I wrap this to process the information as HTML EMail?
I have enabled all the HTML options in the script but I still get a text email:....
I'm working on an email message sent in HTML format. As the email reach
the adressee the HTML is correctly visualizaed (I made sever tests with
Outlook 2003).
The fact is that the code contains a <formthat should be submitted to
an external ASP page. The <formtag naturally cointains a
target=_blank and a proper action.
Anyway it semms to be impossible to make the form work. The submit does
not work; it is evidently an Outlook permission matter...
I verified that sever other things such as <iframes and Javascript code
do not work at all when an HTML is visualized in Outlook.
Is there a way, in your knowledge to go round the problem?
When I send this code (using CDONTS) I had expected just the title to appear on the email but ALL of the text - including the HTML tags are coming though.

I am currently building an emailing system into our asp management system. From this we will be able to setup mail templates (html stored in mssql database) and select who we want to send them to.The html in the database is only the middle part of the html file being sent. All the emails are based on the same design template using a single html file to which I pass a variable saying which body to get from the database <%=writeBody%>. So far this is all working fine and the emails are sending using cdo.
..createMHTMLBody
"http://localhost/helpCentric/responseSendForm.asp?"&qString
What i am trying to do now is personalise the emails and on the responseSendForm.asp I connect to the database and create variables such as fName, lName etc.I need to be able to write these variables in the html in the database which will then display in the body using the <%=writeBody%>.As you may have guess this is not working and I dont know enough aboutthe .createMHTMLBody to work out what to do.
I can create an email with ASP's using CDONTS and this works well. I'd like to format the email as HTML. Can I do this with ASP's and CDONTS?
View Replies View Relatedi have a web site built using vbasic active server scripting running on iis (it works on either iis 50 and 60, but is designed for iis 50). i know how to create a plain text email by creating a text file, with content following certain format, and saving that file into the correct '..mailrootpickup' folder, and it is working fine.
what i would like to know is how to create and send an email in html format from my server script. i will appreciate anyone who can tell me where to find instructions on
how to do this.

View Replies View RelatedLooking around, theres a bunch of pre-made utilities out there for ASP that make graphs and charts. I guess they often just write binary image data on the fly, and they output the image. You can even say something like <img src="blah.asp">.
My problem is, I want to write images on the fly, but I dont need graphs or charts. I just want to have custom images created based on database data.
So my question is what are the underlying methods that these graphing utilities use to write this binary data? Can I write my own utility? I know PHP has a library to do this exact thing (GD Library). Does anybody know of an ASP equivalent?
I am looking for a way to have people enter some text, click a button and have the text show up on top of the existing graphics. I have no idea what this would be called, so if this is an existing topic, please forgive me and just point me to the topic. Is anyone aware of any sample code that demonstrates this?
View Replies View RelatedIm basically making a site that will have a homepage with links I will add everyday to graphics and movies on my server. When you click the link it will open a new page similiar to the homepage with the graphic/movie in the middle of hte page.
I know there's an easy way to do this so i can just have it call a database or something like that. Basically I want to just have to add a link to the home page describing what it is, then and add the link to the file to the database and have the coding do everything for me. I think this is asp.
Can someone clue me in. All the sites i've built up until now have hundreds of pages all consisting of the same thing and it's such a pain to keep duplicating code. I'm not looking to get too advanced. If I don't have to use an access database, i don't want to.
how to send an HTMl email from an external server. I am trying to Send email using CDOSYS
this i what i have tried but cant get it to work.
Can anyone get me started or point me to a resource for some help?
I have an ASP page that displays various boxes, tables, and information. I want to be able to click an "Email" button and have the asp page save the page as an attachment (html?) and then launch Outlook and automatically attach the page to it and enter the email address of the person I want to send it to.
I can't just send a link because the page is generated on an Intranet and I need to send it to people outside the network. So, I need to save a print screen of the page and then have Outlook grab that and the recipient's email address and put those into Outlook so the sender can review and send out.
