I'm currently having issues with my "written by a six year old" asp code.
I have successfully got CDO CreateMHTMLBody to work but the email body does not correctly display the HTML body eg tables, font types ect from the associated page.

I have exhausted my google searches but no reference to layout issues.

It does not seem to matter how simple the page is, i just get the txt of the page and that's it.

Any thoughts or dry humour would be superb!

(Later input from relived coder!) Scrap above query...

Turns out it was the mail client .. have published to main web server and works fine .. Once again i blame Microsoft!

Just to add the best site i found during my long search for how to correctly use CDO mail was

I hope this helps as much as it did for me :)

Cheers

written by a six year old, great stuff...

FYI There is a mail method called CDOSYS I believe this is the best, and reccomended mail option.

For as much as I love to blame M$ for my hardships and problems 9 times out of 10 when something doesnt work right its our (programmers) fault, not Microsoft.

Though I do blame them for not providing decent built in support to upload files with .NET 1.1 >< I now have a new found hatred for httpHanlders =]

And yes written by a six year old, thats great stuff ^^

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.

Thanks for the replies,

Since increasing the amount of data using the method

objMsg.CreateMHTMLBody("formatmsg.asp" & _
     "?name=" & Server.URLEncode(request("txtName")) & _
     "&addr=" & Server.UrlEncode(request("txtAddr")))

Using the method

<%=request("txtName")%>

For the input fields i have found issues with CDO.Message function to send the mail. The page i am using for the body content includes some tables displaying a results table.

The issue arrives when i am trying to post a fairly long line of txt using the above method. As far as my simpleton brain is willing to fathom the objMsg.CreateMHTMLBody function posts the entire line of data in a single string.

I don't know if there is a finite restriction on either the total amount of data you can input into the template page or if there is a way to break down the input data into smaller chunks.

eg using objMsg.CreateMHTMLBody twice in the same mail function.

(Bless .. I tried but the second objMsg.CreateMHTMLBody was the only page inputted into the body of the email.)

So i agree completly with comment "9 times out of 10 when something doesnt work right its our (programmers) fault, not Microsoft."

And hopefully have proven my grasp of asp is pre " Seven Year Old" as mentioned before.

The mailing method is using CDOSYS and i agree, when it works it rocks! Just my code which is the issue :) .

If anyone has any thoughts on my small dilema please educate.
