pictured background disappears when emailed

[Chris at the Inn]

Hello

I am using frontpage 2003 to build my email newsletter. Here is the new
email newsletter I am having problems with
http://www.domainbourget.com/news_2006-10.htm.

My first cell has been configured to have a picture in the background (cell
properties > style > borders > shading) then I type text cell. The background
picture is uploaded on my remote website www.domainbourget.com. When I email
the page (frontpage > outlook > ) I lose the background picture. Also I
unselect the email option "send picutres from the internet" in order to keep
my email size to a minimum.

Any suggestions to correct this or do another way would be appreciated.

ps. I design using the "design" mode...no code.

Thanks....Chris

You will have to change the url's for any image to the absolute url for the
image that is stored on your website.

assuming you keep your images in the images folder.

Hi Rob. Thanks for input. When I created the newsletter an absolute url was
used, per below.

<td colspan="2" style="background-image:
url('http://www.domainbourget.com/enewsletter/enewsletter_fallheader.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center">

Any other ideas or did I miss something.
Thanks.......Chris

You did so in the email itself, correct?

 

[Chris at the Inn]

to be honest I tried to fingure how to do it in the email and failed. If the
explaination is simple, I would love to hear it. Thanks Tom.

Its much easier to do html email with Outlook Express, btw. OE embeds the
images so you don't need to worry about storing the files online and using
absolute urls to them.

Try using OE, then email the html email to yourself, retrieve it with
Outlook and save it as a Draft to be sent out with Outlook.
