Cross Platform HTML Email Questions

Hi,
I am creating new html emails from within dreamweaver for use in a service like constant contact. The service I use is COMF5. They have a rudimentary (but nice) WSYIWYG editor so I am giving it a whirl in Dreamweaver.
I first made the mistake of creating a beautiful file in CSS, pasted it in the editor and found divs and info floating all over the place.
I just found an article by an adobe pro on doing this and ZOMG, what a huge help. Here is what I think I underatand and my question:
1. Everything is tables, inclding the background which is created at 98%.
2. The body is to be nested tables.
3. Attributes are to be defined within the table by use of the property bar and not to include creating css rules.
4. The one exception is inline styles created within the boundaries of the table.
5. Important rule is to not have CSS sitting at top of code in document.
My big question at present is, how can I code links to be other than blue and underlined? I would use CSS to do that on my pages.
Thanks ain advance for further insight!

I'll second what Joey said. Everything inline with email clients. They are too unreliable, especially with Outlook. Constant Contact though can be a pain in that you can't just add links to the email if you want them to be tracked. Search their documentation for the "SimpleURLProperty" tag that they use. If you do not include this, and the code they leave for you in the code view when you import your own code, none of their tracking features will work. And this goes for images as well as text links. Lots of conditions when sending through Constant Contact if tracking is a key. One of the key reasons I have used other services for awhile now.

Html email question

I'd like to add a bit of text to my mail signature, something like this:
Check out my istock portfolio
So that it comes out like this:
'Check out my istock portfolio'
- as a link. Is it possible?
Thanks for reading, hope to hear from you
Brgds
Alex

try this: Go to Mail Prefs > Signatures. Click on "All signatures" icon. Click on "+" to add new signature. Then type the text that you want to display in your new signature, e.g. Be sure to visit my webpage. Select/highlight the text that you want to hyperlink, e.g., the word "webpage" or the whole sentence. Then go to Mail menubar > Edit > Add Hyperlink... Type in the target URL, e.g. http :// www.some-url.com. Then drag that signature to the icon(s) of the account(s) that you wish it to be an available choice for signature.
No guarantee that everybody reading your email will have an active hotlink when your signature is displayed, but I suspect that everybody who renders rich text format in their emails when reading will probably get it okay.

4.0 to ECC 6 Cross Platform

Hi Gurus,
I'll be performing a Heterogenous Copy (from 4.0 Oracle 8/ Sun -
> Win2003/SQL) and then will upgrade in to ECC 6.Since this will be a very heavy task for me, really appreciated it if someone who has experience can share with me in this cross platform environment.My Question :
1) Which is the best method to perform Hetero Copy:
a. Make the target system the same level (4.0) as the source system and then upgrade to 4.6D ext or
b. Upgrade the SAP on the source system (4.0 to 4.6D ext) and then do R3Load?
2) Which one is the best pre-upgrade before upgrading to ECC 6.0?
a. Upgrade to 4.6D ext or 4.7?
b. on the target system SQL 2000 SP4 or SQL 2005 SP2 (Still not confident with the SQL 2005 yet - too many issues )
c. On oracle level, theres no need to upgrade from 8 to 9.2 is it?
Is there any sapnotes/forum that I can refer too?
TQ

First advise: if this is a production system you will need to have certified migration consultant on-site - otherwise you will loose support for the target system and for all problems arising from that migration.

Since the kernel for 4.0 is LONG out of maintenance I suggest you upgraded to the latest available 46D_EXT kernel and do the R3load export with that one. This will make sure you will have the most recent kernel avoiding problems resulting out of an unpatched R3load.
> 2) Which one is the best pre-upgrade before upgrading to ECC 6.0?

You can upgrade straight away from 4.0 to ECC 6.0 (now called ERP 6.0).
> b. on the target system SQL 2000 SP4 or SQL 2005 SP2 (Still not confident with the SQL 2005 yet - too many issues )
I would go for SQL 2005.

If you upgrade to ERP 6.0 you will NEED to upgrade to Oracle 10g before you can start the upgrade.

Email images and signatures not displaying cross platform??

I have noticed something odd when emailing people who are using windows. For some reason, attachments and signatures that are images (.jpg files that WILL open in a browser on the PC) or PDF's do not show up in the body of the email I send to them. Yet they are using HTML email, and emails they send to ME do have images showing up correctly in both the body of the email and the signatures on my Mac. Is there something on my end that I need to do in the formating to make this cross platform? Has anyone else run into this?
I'm confused, I thought HTML was HTML....

Same here... in Outlook 2007 many times the Mac email signature ends up as an HTM attachment... Any news on this odd behavior!

Cross-platform upgrade question

I'm posting this question here as I have had less than satisfactory results from asking Customer Support about this issue. I know this forum is moderated by some great folks at Adobe and am hoping someone can clear up this question for me.
I currently own CS3 Design Premium for Windows, and need to purchase CS5 for Mac. A search for "Cross platform swap" on Adobe brought me to this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html. However, the instructions there don't match what is offered on the support page. Under Return/Exchange/Refund I have only the following options:
Duplicate Order
Product Didn't perform/ work as expected
Purchased Incorrect upgrade
Purchased Wrong Product/Platform/Language
Shipping Problems
Unable to Download Order
Wrong Product delivered
None of those options is correct as described in the KB article. I decided to chat with Customer Support, and the rep told me that all I had to do is order the upgrade and I could choose which platform to install on first run. Really? The Rep said CS5 included two discs, one for Windows install and one for OS X. He assured me that I would have no problem installing a CS5 upgrade on my Mac, even though I have never installed CS3 on that machine.
I am skeptical about this solution for two reasons: one, Adobe has never offered Win and Mac discs together for CS versions. Two, when I go to pre-order CS5 I need to make a choice between platforms.
Has Adobe changed its method of delivering Creative Suite products? Are both platform discs really included? If not, there are two things that need to be done:
Article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html needs to be corrected. The steps as described cannot be completed.
Customer Support reps need to be notified that they are providing incorrect information regarding cross-platform upgrade procedures.
Finally, I need correct information as to how to go about upgrading my CS3 Windows to CS5 Mac. Do I purchase an upgrade disc and use my CS3 serial number to install? Do I do some sort of return, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance to anyone from Adobe who is willing to take the time to answer my question.

I don't represent Adobe in any capacity other than a mostly satisfied user. Here's what I did on a cross platform (Windows to Mac) exchange--not an upgrade, but my experience may help you.
I, too, found that the directions didn't match the support web site. So I used 'Purchased wrong...' as my subject. I then completely described what I wanted to do in the comments section. I included my current platform version and serial number in the comments. After posting I had a case number to enter onto the Letter of Destruction (LOD) which I then attached to the case. I don't know if a LOD is required in your situation as you will be paying for an upgrade. You should be able to keep both packages active-but customer support will probably know. In my case I had to certify that I had destroyed the original Windows package.
After this was posted to the Adobe Customer Support Portal I then had a case number I could give to the telephone customer support so I called them. While on the line with them they read my case file and informed me my credit card would be charged $5.95 for shipping. Six days later I had the CS4 Design Premium for the Mac. It *should* be just as easy for you.
I must say that I have had to call Adobe Customer Support a handful of times in the last couple of years. In each and every case I received prompt and accurate information that solved my problem or pointed me directly to the solution. I am aware that this is not always the case and wish you good luck.

Question about education version of cs6: once per year restriction and cross platform

I am an education use of cs6, which I currently use on my mac. I now have a windows pc, which I would also like to use cs6 on concurrently. My understanding is my existing license doesn't cover cross-platform use, so I would have to buy a new license. However, education licenses also have a once per year restriction (ie. you can only buy 1 license per title per year). So my question is, for the purpose of the once per year restriction, does the windows version count as a different title from the mac version (ie, is it once per year per title per platform)?

http://www.adobe.com/uk/special/education/students/studentteacheredition/order_fulfillment .html
RESTRICTIONS ON USE
You may purchase only one license per platform of any Adobe Student and Teacher Edition product per year. Purchases of suite editions (such as Design Premium or Master Collection) are limited to one title per platform per year. Adobe Student and Teacher Edition products may be used only on your privately owned computer and may not be resold.
Even though that's a UK link, I cannot find any other info on Adobe's website which is similar in content so I assume those rules are global.

Cross platform upgrade question between Photoshop CS5/CS6 and multiple Windows/Mac computers

Hello,
I'm currently using a Windows laptop and PC running Photoshop CS5 from a Student license I got in college. I am considering moving to an Apple laptop so I was looking at the cross platform update question on the forum that led me here: Order product | Platform, language swap
It's not really clear if I will be eligible for the upgrade, and Adobe support chat sent me to the forum, and that page sends me back to where I started to see if I am eligible. I would prefer to purchase the upgrade outright, rather than pay for the new monthly subscription model.
If I am eligible for a swap/upgrade to Apple CS6, will I still be able to use CS5 on my Windows PC?
Thanks.

I don't have a definitive answer, but I have a feeling that a student teacher version is not eligible for an upgrade discount. You own the CS5 perpetual license, and can install it on two computers at the same time as CS6, CC etc. That will be the case in perpetuity. (not sure why I didn't just type 'forever' back there, or alert the cliche police 'Going forward')
Photoshop CS6 Extended will cost you just shy of US$1600 according to this Amazon page The non extended version does not give you the 3D tools, and Photoshop CC comes as the full extended version as standard. If you got the Photoshop / Lightroom Photography plan at a mere $10 a month, the price of CS6 would keep you subscribed for > three years. Photoshop CC has a lot of wonderful features CS6 does not have, and will never have, and CC will be be constantly updated 'in perpetuity'. ;-) $10 a month! Heck, what's not to like about that?!!!

Cross platform migration question.

I have a customer that is currently runnning oracle 10g databases on solaris 64 bit operating system on sun m4000 and m5000 hardware. The customer is looking to move to the redhat 6 operating system.
I am wanting to know what method will be available for me to migrate the databases as the endian on the files are different? Will transportable tablespaces work with the different endian?
Thanks.

With the exception of GMail, style rules are permitted in the head element, see.
Hover effects are not supported in Outlook 2007/2010, Gmail, iOS or Android. You may still want to include the a:hover style for all supporting clients: Outlook 2000/2003, Hotmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo! mail ...see

Saving down from CS5 to CS4 cross-platform

Working on a PC, I am saving down from CS5 to CS4, exporting as an idml. The client is using CS4 on a MAC. When the file opens, the Master Page content is superimposing over the content of the page. Help!

Hi Bob and thank you for your help.
The answer to your question is yes. But now I have more information:
- I opened the idml file on my PC and I see the same thing as my client who is using a MAC.
- It occurred to me that my client created the original ind file himself (on a MAC) then sent it to me to work on.
- BUT my client's ind file was a originally a Quark file converted to InDesign CS4.
- I just completed another project for the client but I created it from scratch in CS5 then saved as an idml file so his MAC could read it. He had no problem with the idml file.

Template Cross-Platform - Version Differences

I created a template in Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac and sent it to
a programmer using Dreamweaver MX on WIndows and the formatting for
him is messed up. Divs aren't lining up where I put them. He sent a
screen shot of his directory (which matches mine) and of the
template within DW MX and the divs are out of place.
Is this issue based on OS cross-platform, DW 8 to MX and
differences in how those versions handle MX or some other issue?
Thanks,
Brian

HTML is HTML, you know? It wouldn't make any difference if
you were
creating on a Mac, a PC, or a Linux box.
But - DMX is a dumb bunny when it comes to any advanced
layout methods. I
imagine the problem you are seeing is due to DMX's inability
to render CSS
layouts properly. Is your colleague using DMX6.0 or 6.1? If
the former,
they should at the least update to the latter immediately,
although that may
not fix the problems either.

Help! Cross Platform Projector issue

Hi all,
I am sure this has been a hot topic for years and I did do
various searches and was surprised not to find anything on it
quickly. Sorry if this has been discussed a lot, as I imagine it
has. We are able to make our functioning mac and win projector with
our win version of flash 8, but everytime I burn the cd on win, the
projector file does not know what to do with itself when trying to
launch back on mac.
Questions:
1. Does cross platform burning have to be performed on a Mac?
2. If so, does one need toast to do the cross platform
burning to make the mac and win projectors groovy on their
respective platforms? We have a brand new MacBook Pro - it seems
like it should have these capabilities built in at this point, but
not sure.
Any pointers here or to a technote would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Opaque Types - Cross platform TTS

When doing cross platform transportable tablespaces, there's a know limitation with "Opaque Types" which read:
Opaque Types Types(such as RAW, BFILE, and the AnyTypes) can be transported, but they are not converted as part of the cross-platform transport operation.
Their actual structure is known only to the application, so the application must address any endianness issues after these types are moved to the new platform.
Question is:
Does this also applies to standard expdp/impdp or is "Opaque Types" endiannes correctly converted when using normal expdp/impdp instead of TTS?
thanks

Hi Sulimo,
Got a link ..
Opaque Types Types(such as RAW, BFILE, and the AnyTypes) can be transported, but they are not converted as part of the cross-platform transport operation. Their actual structure is known only to the application, so the application must address any endianness issues after these types are moved to the new platform.

With expdp/impdp it should be possible but with few constrains .. please refer below

Why is my HTML email showing up wrong in different email account?

I've seen this before and I think it has to do with CSS (which I realize isn't supposed to be in emails), but I'm super new to this and have scoured the internet to find out exactly what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it. It shows up properly in my Yahoo acccount, but not in my Gmail accounts (which initially threw it in Spam, if that has anything to do with it). I only know the very basics of HTML and CSS, but still have get this work done and I'm assuming someone will be able to view the code and see what my issue is pretty quick - I hope! It previews in browsers just fine, it's only when I'm click "Forward to a Friend" to send it to myself to test.

Screencap from DW:
So, is it CSS causing this? Are the Tables setup incorrectly? Something not Inline? Not enough info for you? Gmail HATES ME?!
I'm just not seeing it and need to put the question out there while I continue to search for an anwer. Please respond!

Many mail clients reject images, JavaScript and embedded CSS styles. For best results use plain text near the top to communicate your message and give a link to the actual web page on your server.
For mail clients that do have limited support for HTML, use uncomplicated tables and inline CSS rules (inside the body tag).
All that meta data description is a red flag to spam filters. You shouldn't be using meta description or keywords in e-mails.
