@pyroFeb 28.2003 — Did you remember to change this line:

[font=monospace][color=blue]var heart = "http://www.your-web-site-address-here.com/where/you/put/it/heart.gif";[/color][/font]

to point to your image?

@pyroFeb 28.2003 — Well, for some reason the file is not there. The script will not work until that get's resolved. Perhaps try re-uploading it...

@boldentFeb 28.2003 — Replace var heart = "http://www.your-web-site-address-here.com/where/you/put/it/heart.gif";

(with) var heart = "http://www.your-web-site-address-here.com/where/you/put/it/heart.gif";


Hope it works for you too.

Perhaps try for testing purposes, but other than that, calling an image from a server that is not your own is basically spamming the other server for bandwidth. Best to get it working from your own site...

@boldentFeb 28.2003 — I'm new and learning. I didn't relize it was pulling from their site. Thanks for the information.

@sekirtFeb 28.2003 — Say you want to send the floating hearts in an email composed in Outlook Express 6......

The heart.gif saved in a directory called GRAPHICS.

What would be the correct code for that same line in question?

I asked a similar question, which is somewhere around page 5 of this forum at the present time. It seems that OE, when it is sent, still wants to call the GIF from my hard drive. How do you get OE to encode the GIF so that it works when it arrives at its destination?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@pyroFeb 28.2003 — Upload it to the internet and call from that page, such as [font=monospace][color=blue]<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/heart.gif" border="0" />[/color][/font]
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@sekirtFeb 28.2003 — That would be the same effect. If the email was read off line, it would not be able to function properly.

When you send an email with an embedded graphic, it gets encoded into the email and travels with the email. 1 complete unit. Seems that people with OE5.5 are able to do this with javascript but fails when I attempt it with OE6. I don't have OE5.5, but that is what I was told by a person that did it.

Success!
