title="" not displaying in html email - html

<img alt="Check out our NEW E-Catalogue" title="Check out our NEW E-Catalogue" src="http:/image" border="0px">
The code above is what I'm using in a HTML email, sent via a email marketing platform.
When hovering over this image in Outlook 2010, and other email clients, the link shows instead of the title text.
Any suggestions?

That's typical behavior to avoid concealing intended link targets. A snippet from the referenced link:
If you code an image that also links to a web page, some email apps (Outlook2000 and Apple Mail) override both the ALT and TITLE, and show the URL of the link instead. They do this for security, so you see where the link takes you before you click.
FWIW, [as an end-user] I'd rather see where a link is going than what the author felt was more appropriate than the link itself. Case in point:
<a href="http://facebouk.com/login.php" title="http://facebook.com/login.php">
Login to facebook
</a>

Whatsapp sharing link page doesn't exist

I doing a button to share a link to WhatsApp but after I clicked my button, the WhatsApp web shows the message "We couldn't find the page you were looking for".
this is my code
<a target="_blank" ng-href="https://wa.me/?text=aaa" data-action="share/whatsapp/share"></a>
after clicked my button, the URL
https://api.whatsapp.com/resolve?deeplink=/%3Ftext%3Daaa
May I know why the Whatsapp web show the message?
You code is correct, but..
It seems like Whatsapp broke this functionality a while ago. Only these kinds of texts with numbers are working at the moment.
(Was using the same functionality on my own site, have not found a proper replacement yet that works in all places/devices)
I fixed this issue by changing the href url to https://api.whatsapp.com/send/text?=aaa.

How to embed my gmail account in my webpage in HTML

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 !

Newsletter link to anchor

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.

Adding a share button for a mobile site

I want to add a share button for my mobile site, and I need the sharing properties to be custom.
Is there a way I can share a link with custom title, description or comments?
Is there a way to share it through the Facebook mobile application if the user is connected through it?
I've tried to use
<a title="send to Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=YOUR_TITLE&
p[summary]=YOUR_SUMMARY&p[url]=YOUR_URL&p[images][0]=YOUR_IMAGE_TO_SHARE_OBJECT"
target="_blank"><span><img width="14" height="14" src="'icons/fb.gif" alt="Facebook" />
Facebook></a>
It does work with regular sites, but when trying to run it in my mobile, it doesn't share the same...
I have a workaround for this - Make the Facebook share URL go to a page that redirects to the page that you are having trouble with. The redirect page can have new title, meta description and other meta tags in it that you can customize to make the Fb share look just the way you want it. As an example, the QR code on this page takes your phone to the Facebook share link I designed using this technique. I also made a share link for desktops by clicking on the postcard: http://modernmancaves.com/share.html. Side note: This example page does not redirect (so that you have time to try the QR code, mobile share link and view the page's source code)
You can trigger the feed dialog on mobile devices (see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/ )
This allows you to specify the share metadata, and should automatically display a mobile-friendly version on mobile devices

How to embed a facebook like button in a HTML Newsletter?

I would like my readers to like my fan page while reading my newsletter. How to embed the standard iFrame button count at the beginning of my email?
The standard iframe is imposible to use in email campaigns. But u can fake it a little bit by using the like/share image from Facebook and lik tot the share site.
<a href='http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://domain.com'>
<img src='http://domain.com/like.png' alt='Like my site' />
</a>
You can add this link:
http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://domain.com
