Here I will try to explain as clearly
as I can the use of my stationeries.
ERRORS
At first I will explain to you that many errors occur
because your settings are not correct or because you're
computer is missing some dll-files. So first we will
check out your outlook express settings:
- Open Outlook Express
- Go to Tools-Options-Security
- here the internetzone must be vinked. (less secure
;but more functional)
The site of David Letterman is a great
site where you can check out what your computer is
missing to see the stationeries without problems.
http://lettermanstationery.tripod.com/scripttools.htm#whatsinstalled
:
Here you can run a program which scans your computer
at missing dll-files and you also can find these files
on this site.
If you have Windows XP, remember to unzip your files
in the windows-system32 folder.
So you see, sometimes it's quite complicated to keep
it going.
TO DOWNLOAD MY STATIONERY AND HOW
TO USE IT
You can download my stationery by clicking on the
image and saving it.
First you have to unzip the file and you will need
a program such as Winzip to do this. When you open
the eml-file it opens in Outlook Express and you can
use it immediatly.
But remember: you can't see your stationery working
at once. If you send it, the receiver will see it
working but you won't.
Your source-edit must be working, you can find it
under Vieuw-Source edit and now you see at the bottom
of your screen three options: edit, source and preview.
Under preview you can see the stationery working,
under source you can see the scriptlanguage (the html-script),
here you can change and add things like another image
or another sound.
Under edit you can type your text. Click or doubleclick
on the text and type your message. Unfortunatly this
doesn't work that way at all the mails, sometimes
you will have to have more knowledge of the script
and you will have to change the script under source.
This isn't so difficult as it seems, when you've done
this a few times you will know where to type and where
to change things.
But remember when you want to send the email you will
have to go to edit and then you can send it.
SCRIPTLANGUAGE/HTML
You also can download the empty script by clicking
on script and you can change it as you like, but remember
to leave my name in it and you will have to save it
as .html so you can open the file in Outlook Express.
It is too much to explain all the html-codes but you
can find a lot of them on the Internet.
But here are a few codes for a little bit of help:
IMAGE
< img src="pic1.jpg"> Here you will
have to change your image by changing pic1.jpg. Remember
to use the whole path to your image and to leave the
" ". You can type the path but I use the
program copypath. You can download it here
.
Finally you have something like this:
<IMG src="D:\Programma's\Ciska\Stationery\pic1.jpg">
SOUND
<bgsound src="sound.mid" balance =0 volume=0
loop=infinite>Here you will have to remove sound.mid
and add your midi file, as you have done at your image.
BACKGROUND
<body bgcolor=#000000 background="back1.jpg">
Here you will have to remove back1.jpg and add your
background. You also can change your backgroundcolor
here. #000000 is the color black. The colorcart can
be downloaded here.
TEXT
<DIV style="LEFT: 350px; WIDTH: 200px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 100px; HEIGHT: 200px">Here
comes your message</DIV>
Remove Here comes your message and type your own text.
This is a short explanation, the scriptlanguage
(html) seems difficult, but when you are used to it,
it isn't as difficult as it seems. Enjoy your time
working with my stationeries and goodluck with it!!
