i have been asked to use images hosted on a web site

[Woodie]

For an email campaign, I have been asked to use images that are hosted on a
website.

i am using Front page to create the html for the email, but i can only put
the pictures in as embedded pictures, I cannot see how i create the pictures
so that they are viewable in the email but hosted on the
http:///www.website.co.uk/image.htm

Can anyone assist me please.

Upload or publish the images to the website at
http://www.website.co.uk/images/

In the page to be emailed, add the images with tags similar to (in code
view)

<img src="http://www.website.co.uk/images/imagename.jpg" width="100"
height="50" alt="picture">

When you save the page, the save embedded images dialogue will appear.
Select all the images and click Modify
Choose to leave the images where they are and not save them
(sorry, can't remember the exact wording).
Click OK

You should also publish the completed page to the server, so that the
many, many email users who choose not to view emails in HTML format can
see what the page looks like.

You will have to create absolute URLs to each image. When saving the page and prompted to save embed
image, select no, etc.

Hiya
Thanks for the information - but when i save the page it gives me the option
only for 1 picture and if i select cancel nothing happens... any ideas?

What are the presented choices when you save the page? Each image must be using a absolute URL, such
as http://www.domainname.com/images/image1.jpg

Do not cancel.

Change the action (click Modify) to "do not save".

I have changed the HTML code now so that the src ref is the absolute ref for
the image - but i now get just boxes with a red x in the corner - but no
longer get the save images box!!

Thanks for all your help

FrontPage is looking for the images on the server.
Have you uploaded the images to the server?
Are you connected to the internet when you design the page?

use absolute links, so you are correct in thinking you have to link the
images such as <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/thisimage.jpg">

So, in the picture properties type in the full URL to the image on the
server, rather than the relative URL.

thankfully the people on here are so much more helpful than the people at the
IPT !!!
