Hi,
I'm working on an application that sends email. The body of the email is html code which I need to put an image on it. (Also I tried with iframe). Everything looks good in the design mode but when I get the email, instead of the image, I see a grey square. Can anybody tell me how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Use the full link. Instead of linking to it like this:

<img src=yourimage.png>

Link like this:

<img src=http://yourdomain.com/yourfolder/yourimages/yourimage.png>

HTH,

Thanks for your fast response. but I have the link like this :
<img src ="http://localhost/Folder/Images/logo3.gif" >

All I can think of is that the image doesn't exist, but I assume you have already checked that (you said it looks fine in design view).

I will let you know if I find a solution for this.

Sorry,

Snib

If you really have a URL beginning on http://localhost that's still on your local machine and not reachable from the Web.

I'm using my local web Server (IIS) in my machine. I even got the value of the mail body while debuging and the value is perfectly right.
any idea?

What mail program are you using to view the e-mail? Can you look at the source of the message in that program? If so, what do you see?

I'm using the regular hotmail. when I view the source I see
<img src="http://64.4.26.24/safe.gif" > any idea?

That's what I thought. I think you have some spam blocking options enabled in Hotmail. I have that enabled for Yahoo as well. Basically what they do is replace any image embedded in a message with a "safe" image. This prevents you from requesting the image from the spammer's server, and thus acknowledging the fact you received / opened the e-mail. This also confirms your (valid) e-mail address and the spam will continue.

I wouldn't be surprised if it'd work on another mail client, or with this option turned off.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks, so what is the solution for that?
another question. I need to show a chart which is a .htm file. How can I show it in the body part of the email? I use the iframe to show that but It does not appear in the email. Could you please tell me how to fix it?
Thanks
