How to make a link to a line of the same page in a HTML e-mail?
I tried link to name and after testing it on Gmail and Outlook, the #1 is transformed to #**********_1 and nothing happens when I click the link. I'm using 1&1 Newsletter system to send the HTML email.
I think your 1&1 newsletter software is adding tracking to your link. If there is an option to turn this off, your anchor link should work correctly.
Here is a support chart for anchor links in html email
You can't.
It is the way Gmail and Outlook are setup. Their code overrides your link and since they want users to keep their mail page open, it opens all links in new tabs. Even with plain links such as http://google.com they will open in new tabs.

I am using HTML and my task is to create a portfolio website, I need to embed my Gmail account in the webpage, I am trying it using an anchor tag
userid#gmail.com
I did
userid#gmail.com
This fails !!
I need help, in that href section, I need a supporting link that, when clicked will redirect a user directly to their compose box with my mail id in the To: section
So, apparently though some accident, I stumbled upon the answer, on google classroom, where my professor shared her mail id, which when clicked redirected me on my mail account with Compose open and her mail id entered in the To: section
alright!, I don't know the jargon for it, I think it's Google's Mail API, correct me if I'm wrong.
However, the solution for that is this link:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?view=cm&fs=1&to=userid#gmail.com&tf=1
I only had to put this link in my HTML in the href= section and boom ! it worked
<a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?view=cm&fs=1&to=userid#gmail.com&tf=1
">userid#gmail.com</a>
the
userid#gmail.com
is deliberately put as such , you can enter yours as it is !
I have created a custom tab for a Facebook page. Everything is displaying, the only issue happening is none of the link in that tab is working. Is there a special code that I need to add for Facebook Tab page in order to make the links work?
This is the facebook tab.
https://www.facebook.com/AstellasUS/app/2475799012460272/
And the links I have used basic HTML below
<li>Twitter: twitter.com/astellasus</li>
<li>LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/astellas-pharma</li>
<li>YouTube: youtube.com/user/AstellasUS</li>
<li>Website: astellas.us</li>
They are “not working”, because those sites forbid being displayed inside a frame on a different domain, via the X-Frame-Options header.
Trying to open those sites inside the app iframe doesn’t make that much sense to begin with - so simply add target="_blank" to those links, so that they open in a new window/tab.
I'm trying to make a custom email template that is sent to a user once they fill out a form on our site. At the bottom of the email we want a button that links to a page on our website. So far I've tried using the a, button, and form tags and all of these work when you use gmail and are already in the browser but if you use outlook, the apple mail app, or any others, the button appears to click but doesn't actually do anything. Is there any sort of workaround for this? Am I just missing something simple?
Thank you so much for any help! This has been driving me crazy all day.
I'm sending a HTML newsletter for my site using php and HTML. In my HTML newsletter i want to add forward email link. how can i do that?
A link in an email can only open a new browser tab. you can add a new page on your site that contains this functionality and link this page in your email.
I've written a HTML Email using tables (:sad face:) and it displays perfectly while using Internet Explorer's Send -> Page by Email. My issue is that my jump links
Go to the jump link
no longer work, thye just open the complete URL of the page that I was sending. I've looked through the source of emails in which the jump links do work and I saw that the jumps links looked like this
Word generated jump link
I tried adding this but I'm still getting IE opening and it's now going to http:///
Any idea if there's any extra tags I need to add or another way to get around this?
Essentially, this is something that has to do with the way Microsoft deals with Internet Security. It is best practice to avoid named (jump) anchors in HTML email, unfortunately. However, to overcome this you might want to provide a link to a webpage with the HTML email on, which can of course have named anchors.
You can read more about best practices for email design on this article at Sitepoint. There is also a great resource for HTML email design at the Email Standards Project.
You can try this!!
In outlook -> new email->attach file->insert(select the html file here)->insert as text(dropdown on the insert)
Which will make the jump links work.
but the problem is all with the active links and visited link color. Doing this leave you no control over visited and active link colors.
You could create the email template as signature.
Open the tempalte in IE and click CTRL+A to copy the page.
Create a signature and Page the content as it is.
Create a New email and insert the Signature. The template will be loaded.
I had the same problem. When trying to send a html page using Internet Explorer's Send -> Page by Email, the anchor pointed to the url of the webpage instead of to the internal link in the mail.
This can be solved by adding this in the head of the page:
<base href="" />
