Hello, Does anyone know how I can send marketing emails to prospective clients? When I create the email in word and save as a webpage filtered, the format is still a bit hit and miss in clients version of outlook. The online email sites I've seen require you to know the recipients you are emailing too. I don't, as they are emails i want to send to prospective clients. Any advice much appreciated Thanks in advance

I havent finished my site yet, hence why I havent shared my link yet :-) Thanks for all the replies folks. Many thanks again

Hi Guys, Can anyone please tell me the best way to go about this? I've identified a few potential clients locally, do I email, telephone, write, use a flyer? Any advice much appreciated.

Hi Folks, Can anyone tell me how I can get google to track folders and pages within my site? I've setup google analytics and added the code at the bottom of my pages using .net master pages. The problem is I've uploaded a folder with lots of html pages: http://www.site.co.uk/folder/files.html Is there anyway I can track who has entered that area of my site? It doesnt use my templates so the google anyalytic code is not on those pages. Thanks in advance

Thanks very much for your reply. I have this working now using nested master pages.

Hi Folks, I'm quite new to .net, and in the past I've created my sites by using includes determined by what parameter was passed in the url. This way I am able to avoid reusing code and I can create submenus easily this way. I also set up my site structure so each area has its own folder, with an index page that holds the submenu for each area, and includes each area page beneath it. This way I only need to update the index page when the sub menu changes. Could anyone tell me how I can go about this in .net? I've read about master pages, could I use these somehow? Most of the examples I've seen have been quite basic for my needs, I take it I'd need to use nested templates? Can anyone help with this? I have attached a graphic if that helps. Thankyou in advance

Thanks for the replies guys. My colleagues use 1and1, I don't know of any other hosts, there are so many to choose from. How do you pick the right host? Regarding the didicated server and VPS, don't you have to install your own updates, backups etc? I dont really have the time at present, to service all that stuff. Any advice much appreciated

HI Folks, This is the first time I've looked into external hosting, can anyone recommend the best package for me? I'd like ASP.net and MS SQL Server, and the ability to setup lots of websites and URLs, but I'm not keen on maintaining the server, updates, backups etc. Can anyone recommend a package for me? Cost isn't really a problem.

Coudl anyone tell me the best way tro go about this? I usually create them myself using javascript and coldfusion, but its a laborish task, testing the logic of the questions etc. Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply. Its a big table 8 columns by about 10 rows. with paragraphs of text and lists in certain cells. Its just a bit of a mess really and the cells appear squashed in the width of the page.

Hi folks, I have a big table with lots of rows and cells, you have to scroll down the page quite alot to view all the data, can anyone think of the best way to display this? I've tried using CSS to hide/show relevant information when the appropriate header is clicked, but its still to big to view really. Any ideas folks? Thanks

Doh! Of course, thanks guys.

Can anyone please help me format my headers. I need to set the background of the header to an image, so it stretches. I can get this bit to work, but the text needs padding, when I addp adding it messes up the header background image. Can anyone please help? Thankyou h3 { background-color:#660099; width:100%; height:29px; background-image: url(images/banner_grad_left.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; color:#ffffff; } h3 span { background-image: url(images/banner_grad_right.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right center; width:100%; height:20px; float:left; } <h3 ><span>title text</span></h3>

What are your thoughts on the design of an intranet? I've been given free reign to design what I like, should I bother with a web 2.0 layout? Flashy buttons, gradient fills etc?

Hi guys, I haven't used asp for a very long time, but now I need to setup a basic form submitting to a Db. I've got access to the server that hosts the access Db, theres a current Db on there that works so I added a table to it and used the same datasource, so I'm puzzled as to why it doesnt work. My code is below what connects to the DB, but is doesn't work. I keep getting this error: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x126c Thread 0x1644 DBC 0x8bcae0c Jet'. /index/survey.asp, line 99 Can anyone please help?

Hi Folks, I'm currently trying to come up with an intranet design, does anyone know of good sites I can look at for ideas? ie bbc, guardian etc I'd like to do a formal design and a radical design. Any advice much appreciated.

Hi Guys, I have an intranet setup which holds its own data. Ideally I would like to build my own webserver and point it to the datasource on the intranet, so there is one central source for data that supplies both the intranet and website. However, due to company politics and finacial restraints I have doubts if I can get a webserver hosted inhouse. Therefore I will have to use a hosting company. The problem with this is I will have to upload everything twice, once to the website and once to the intranet. Is there anyway I can get my intranet server to talk to the hosted site, so the hosted site can read the data and display it? Thanks in advance
