html emails

markzaccaria · 12-23-2008, 03:10 AM

Hi all - me is a newbie to this forum!
Im Mark a Web designer.

OK so what i need to achieve - using css and a bit of javascript i can create a html page where you can click on a button/image to make a div visible or not visible.

Obviously if i sent the html page as an email the javascript doesnt work.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this

Many thanks
Mark

I'm not sure what you want to do: create the page as outlined above, or send a page as an e-mail.

@dm01: he want's to use JS in an email (which will get filtered by most clients, and not run by any[that i've seen so far]).

All i can think of is re-directing your e-mail to another webpage (e.g: "our latest newsletter is out, see it here" linking towards a newsletter with JS in [very lame example btw]).

Most e-mail clients don't allow JS because using JS in something like the new live-mail web-client you could delete the entirety of someone's inbox.

Cheers,
