Email campaign - inline css - a:link, a:hover
What do people do about setting the color of the a:link and a:hover when setting up a page for email distribution using inline css?
From what I've read you can't declare inline styles for the above mentioned styles?
Is it ok to put those in css <style></style> tags in the head section of the page and just let those email clients that can deal with it do so and forget those that can't, or is there a better alternative?
Cheers

Hi Os
Don't know if this is related to your post regarding xara, but if the other person was using xara for emails then yes it is easier doing emails in xara than dreamweaver, (for the none html/css literate).
Sort of, I'm just doing some experimenting before I commit myself. Don't won't to look like a dumb *** if I say I can and then I can't, lol.
As to your question most emails use the default but I can see no problem in placing the alternative in a css style sheet.
This article may be helpful, (check the external links at the end also) - http://groundwire.org/support/articles/css-and-email-newsletters.
Ok, that's what I thought. I'll use inline css styling for pretty much everything I can to be on the safe side and just put css that can't be inserted inline in an embedded style sheet. I guess its no big deal if a few email client don't like it.
I'll have a read of the link you provided. Thanks for your respnse

(OT) CSS a:link a:hover a:visited a:active
Hola Foreros.
Tengo la siguiente inquietud.
Tengo un CSS definido. En propiedades de la pagina deje color
del vinculo,
vínculos visitados, vínculos de sustitución y
vínculos activos como neutro.
Cree un CSS y definí colores y tipo de letra. Hasta hay
no problema
.rojo_mayuscula_12 {
color: #FF0000;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: normal;
font-weight: bold;
font-variant: normal;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-decoration: none;
Luego cuando creaba un vinculo con ese color me tomaba un
azuloso mas que
insistía. Debido a eso le agregue al CSS
.rojo_mayuscula_12 a:link {
Perfecto, hasta hay nop problem. Pero cuando lo veo en OPERA,
me muestra que
al vinculo que le di otro color. En firefox, Netscape, Frog
no me muestra
ese error de cambio de color.
Probem con
.rojo_mayuscula_12 a:link a:hover a:visited a:active{
Pero no funciona.
Bueno. Como puedo obligar a un tipo de letra que tome el
color activo,
enzima, visitado sigan sin cambiar el color para todos los
Explorer?
Que parte me quedo mal en .rojo_mayuscula_12 a:link a:hover
a:visited
a:active{ para que me tome el color?
Gracias y espero respuesta.Hola Annuack. Sólo un truco:
¡No utilices ese tipo de nombres en los estilos! 8-)
¿Te imaginas que dentro de un mes tengas que cambiar el
diseño y los enlaces
pasen a ser verdes y en minuscula?
Es mejor definirlos por su función en el documento
(enlacesNavegacion,
linksContenido...) que por su apariencia.
Saludos!

CSS Button Links in HTML email not working in TB
Greetings,
Our company is creating an html email for customers and we are noticing the CSS button links don't work when viewing in Thunderbird 31 and 32 beta.
Does TB require unique coding to get these to work?
Any assistance would be appreciated...
-- PaulFrom the point of view of a user who views received email messages in Thunderbird, it doesn't support scripting. Straight links should work and and you can attach a link to an image.
Note that Thunderbird does NOT offer active links in the Compose window. So however you create it, you won't see it as the recipient does unless you save it and view it as a draft. -
Hello,
My inline CSS doesnt seem to be working in all eamil clients. Can you tell me what I have wrong with this:
<td height="50" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 30px; color:#FFFFFF; line-height:80%; text-align:left; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">SAMPLE TEXT</td>Do as Murray says and remove that part of the style, you don't need it. Sometimes the extra ' will make it quirky. I hope the body of the email is a dark color since your using white text color (#FFFFFF). It should render in most if not all emails.
<td height="50" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; color:#FFFFFF; line-height:80%; text-align:left; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">SAMPLE TEXT</td>
You could try something like this:
<td height="50"><p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 30px; color:#FFFFFF; line-height:80%; text-align:left; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;">SAMPLE TEXT</p></td>

Why are my inline css styles for BC tags being ignored and just default to blue underlines?
I am familiar with inline css styling for email campaigns and have always customised links in emails with the code I sent:
however Im puzzled why this code doesn't work with BC tags {tag_viewinbrowser} and {tag_unsubscribe}, any help would
be great as I think the default blue links look ugly.
This is my code: <a href="" style="color:#78787c; text-decoration:underline;">{tag_viewinbrowser}</a>
All other links I have styled appear as they should, its just BC tags where the style seems to be ignored?You can put <style>span#unsubscribe a{color:red;}</style> code in your newsletter html that can address the DOM that is specific to those links. BC is adding it's own anchor tags for those links so your style isn't touching it. Rewrite your tag to look like this. <span id="unsubscribe">{tag_unsubscribe}</span> . That with the style code will solve your problem.

How can I get the Email Campaigns Blog module to display correctly in Outlook?
I'm having a bit of trouble with this. I've used the email campaign builder to build a campaign; added the blog module to it and applied a custom template to it so that it should display correctly, but outlook has other ideas...
Here's what it should look like:
and here's what outlook gives me:
this is built within tables and the tables and cells all have set widths of 520px, yet the blog module seems to ignore this and somehow sit outside of them, breaking the template (BUT only in outlook).
Is this a problem anyone has experienced before?
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
SamHTML Email Campaign design is still a very tricky beast. There are no standards like the makers of the major web browsers have been pushing for and adhering to over the years for web designers so since there are any number of email clients like your native mobile phone email clients, desktop clients like Outlook and Thunderbird and then web-based email clients like Gmail, Yahoo!, etc. there's no standard to display HTML in emails so each client does things differently.
Outlook and Gmail in the past have been the worst offenders. Fixing it is nothing simple. You need to go into your markup and make sure every table has a width set both in the inline STYLE attribute as well as the WIDTH attribute on the TABLE element.
Outlook 2007 and 2010 are both horrendous at displaying HTML uniformly- as it relies on the Microsoft Word rendering engine. Most of the time for my clients I tell them that if the end user can read and click links in Outlook then it's a win-- they're used to seeing horrible formatted emails no doubt. But, if you find most of your email list is using Outlook (corporate/enterprise customers) then you should keep tweaking it.
It's impossible to tell from screenshots what the issue is-- it's likely a markup issue if there is one. -
Hello,
I am trying to upload an html email campaign i created onto Godaddy email
campaign marketing. But it's not coming up completely. It gave me an error
that it has CSS script, the only thing I did was use a jpeg and create a Hotspot over
it to creat a link to the site. Could that be it? It just shows up as a yellow block
and that is the backround color for the page. Thank you.wbbaweb wrote:

I have recently created a website for my family's business. When we bought the Macbook the guy in Apple said the best way to send an email campaign to our mailing list was to publish a hidden page, find it in the browser on Safari, then share it via email, so that is what I do. For most of my customers this works fine, however I have a number of people each month who cannot see any of the content of the email. I have added an 'If you can't see this email properly...' link at the top of the page, with no shapes or images etc near it, but even that does not appear for them.
I am a self-taught novice unfortunately, so haven't a clue what the problem is. I'm not sure of the operating system, but we bought the Macbook in May and it has all the recent updates installed. I have just had a new baby so can't get into the store fdor a one-to-one, so if anyone could explain why this happens / what I can do about it, I would be very grateful! Thanks!If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Follow-up email triggered on email campaign click
I am wondering if it is possible for a follow-up email campaign to be triggered once someone has clicked a link in the previous email.
For example, I want to send out an email to subscribers of an email campaign, with a link to an informative webinar. I then would like only those that have opened the email, and preferably clicked the link, to be sent a follow-up email (a day or 2 later) with extra contextual information that assumes they have watched the video.
My needs are not limited to this example, but hopefully you get the idea.
How might I go about doing this?Hi Dayle,
You can't trigger campaigns based on a user's interaction with the e-mail content itself, if it points externally, but you could try to redirect the user to a BC page where you could auto subscribe him to a "follow-up mailing list" before redirecting to the video itself, as per your scenario (or having the video embedded there). In regards to enabling the webform to properly autosubmit the apropriate information, you could build the link by this pattern: http://yourBCwebsite.com/landingpage?email={module_emailaddress}&fullname={module_fullname}. This way the url will be different per each user clicking it, but it will point to the same page. On that page you can prepopulate the subscribe form fields with {module_url,email} and {module_url,fullname}
Kind Regards,
Alex -
Has anyone tried to send a form in an email campaign?
I am looking into sending a form for prospects to fill in an score themselves. When I send the form via the email campaign the fields fill but the information does not post.
Is this possible?They don't work reliably in email. See this link for more info: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/will-it-work/forms/

We have a secure zone with email campaign opt-in as both a part of the registration form and as a stand alone form for users logged into the secure zone.
We want to only show the opt-in form to users who are not already registered for the campaign, but cannot find a way to do this via modules / tags / liquid / API.
I have searched the forums and cannot believe this is not possible. If not possible, it should be put on the list of development requests.
Is this possible and if not, any suggestions?
The best workaround I can think of is to use a CRM field to track campaign opt-in status and then js/css or liquid to show / hide the form.
Thanks.You won't be able to have a page showing 24 charts per host.
I really think that it is a bad idea to create a group per host, just to have the ability to add many charts.
The maintenance effort will be a big penalty.

CS6 #nav links change hover background color based on its position in series
First post from a complete DW CS 6 novice on Win7. Not knowing JavaScript or JQuery, I thought I would add simplest animation to a website navigation based on the two col fixed header footer design. The navigation links on the left <sidebar1> have been increased to 24, with a common link background in the default state. When the cursor is passed over the links they would change background color to one of five given in the image placed in the jpeg image loaded as the 1st list item. The image itself only acts as a color key to the five catagories of links directly below it, and is not hyperlinked. The idea is that someone looking for new tools would need to hover down the nav links and only be concerned with the Yellow background ones, even if they appear in any random position down the list. To give each link a color to start with would make <sidebar1> appear too colorful.
I have David Powers' two dvd titles and was thinking of using a nth-of-type() . It does not work. Perhaps there are two sets of colons required ( a:hover:nth-of-type(4), a:active:nth-of-type(4) {background-color:#f00;} ). There is surely a way that would work but I do not know enough of DW and CSS at present to figure this out.
Many thanks.I don't what menu system you're using, but you might be able to create some CSS classes to use in your menu like so:
<ul>
<li>a href="some-link.html" class="about">about link</a></li>
<li>a href="some-link.html" class="new">new link</a></li>
<li>a href="some-link.html" class="new_proc">new procedures link</a></li>
<ul>
CSS:
li a.about:hover {background-color:gray}
li a:new:hover {background-color:forestgreen}
li a:new_proc:hover {background-color:lawngreen}
and so on...

CSS a:link not working in browser
Hello all,
Every time I have tied to add the a:link pseudo class to a
page, it affects the links in design view correctly (according to
the style I've applied to the a:link) but it never shows up when I
preview in Firefox or IE. This happens regardless of whether the
a:link is in a document specific CSS file or external. My a:hover
styles work fine. Seems like I'm missing something basic.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, ScottWithout seeing the page in question, what's the a:visited
style like? And
make sure you declare them in the order: link, visited,
hover, active. You
might be seeing the visited style color when you're looking
at the page in
the browser.

Survey Transaction / Email Campaign
Hi Everyboddy!
I've configurated the scenario for email campaign (CRM 4.0) and I have prepared an Campaign and its elements... and attached mail form.
I've some problems at the responses:
1 - When the customer responds the survey, it should be created a transaction related to referred survey, but this is not happening.
2- When the customer responds the survey, I can see only the responses but not who has answered. I've already added the ++ at the end of link, but still doesn't work.
Regards from Brazil !!!
Niveahi
regarding your first question yes as soon as customer respond to survey a inbound activity is genreated but you need to do some changes with the BAdi for this purpose if you do not do that it wont happen.
here is the procedure to achieve the same
n SAP Standard when a customer answers a survey, a new activity with transaction type 0000 will be created that automatically triggers the follow-up processes. In our business scenario were not using transaction type 0000 but Y004 instead.
To make the campaign automation survey scenario running for this transaction type as well you have to change a BAdI.
The following procedure describes where and how to adapt the respective changes.
In a real customer scenario this is a very likely procedure.
Transaction Code SE18
1. SAP Menu Architecture and Technology---->ABAP Workbench -
>Utilities -
>Business Add-Ins
2. Enter the name of the respective BAdI CRM_MKTCA_SVY_PAI in the field Definition Name and choose Display first.
3. Go to tab Interface and double-click on the default implementation class CL_DEF_IM_CRM_MKTCA_SVY_PAI.
4. Again, double-click on method IF_EX_CRM_MKTCA_SVY_PAI~PROCESS_SVY_PAI_FOR_CA and confirm the following dialog box with Yes.
5. In the following you see the example implementation for transaction type 0000.
6. Now switch to change mode and search for 0000 with the Find/Replace button.
7. In the following replace the line
iv_process_type = '0000' with the line
iv_process_type = 'Y004'
8. Save your settings and dont forget to activate your coding again.
now just try to understand it
because as soon as customer repond to the survey you get an in bound activity
this activity generation is crucial part of response analysing because this activity contains the info regarding the customer response
just go through this
regarding the second query buddy you wont be able to see which person has responded it is actually the number o hits you count ,so maximum you can see is that in display contact list the count or total number of people who have accessed it or responded to it.
you will only be able to get the name of the customer or customer details when customer respond tyo the survey and same info of campaign against the activity genreated can be found in table.
best regards
