Html page as email

Hi Sian,

This is a common question. And the answer is 'you don't'.

Dreamweaver can not send e-mail. It is a web page editor.

What you need to do, is create your e-mail as a HTML document in Dreamweaver, and then copy and paste the HTML code into the 'source' view of your HTML e-mail.

There is a good tutorial on this here:

Just be aware that any graphics you want to include in the e-mail should already reside on your hosting server, and that within your e-mail you should link to pages and images using absolute referencing.

ie. <a href="http://www.domain.com/yourpage.html"></a>

instead of <a href="/yourpage.html"></a>



and <img src="http://www.domain.com/image/yourimage.jpg">

instead of <img src="/image/yourimage.jpg">

Also make your e-mail uses as simple HTML tags as possible. Don't use fancy gadgets, spry, javascript etc.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Rich
