Good luck with the email... like someone mentioned, many emails block images and often links in emails or send them directly to spam.

Security of it is a big issue.

we use to do that at work called eblasts. didnt make many friends with them. easiest way to do this is to make the html in the email and then use a image hosting site like imageshack, photobucket or something like that. the only problem is the bandwidth used if ya have like over 1000 emails to send it to and some frown on that. i asked on site once and they were okay with that type of hosting. fergot which one it was.

i want to make things like this, as it's what i've been requested to make. This one i didnt make, just have it as an example, it just sits in the body of an email, like a little newsletter thing, with the option of clicking a url to see it in another window (like that). In essence i can make this in photoshop, using slicing etc...BUT...and this is what i want to make clear...for me to do this properly, ie: to make my pics used show, instead of just the urls etc....do i need to have access to their web server thing? or is there another way? Everyone has been helpful so far and i don't want to be ungreatful...but i think there were a few mix ups about what i was asking for help with? so...finally i found an example of what i mean, so i hope that helps?? coz for me to do this, i cant save it in photobucket etc coz it doesnt upload sliced photoshop images...so is the final answer to access their server and save the pics i need onto there?

...Yeah?

//html xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"//
mean anything to anyone??

Not really, but i found this for you.....

Your stylesheet has a default namespace
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet". So the <Cell> element
in the stylesheet is really
<{urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet}Cell>, because an unprefixed
element name is qualified by the default namespace. The effect of a literal
result element like <Cell> is to create an element in the result document
with the same name, that is
<{urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet}Cell>. But of course this
isn't real XML syntax, so when it gets output as XML it becomes <Cell
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">.


Remember that your stylesheet is responsible for creating elements in the
right namespace; the serializer takes care of generating the namespace
declarations to achieve this.
