html image percentage issue

I am unable display an image by percent. No matter what method I try,
I receive the following error.

Input string was not in the correct format.

No matter what method I use, I cannot get this to show up in a percent
format. What am I missing here.

currentStatusImage.Src = "../builds/images/green.gif"
currentStatusImage.Width = "60%"

Thanks.currentStatusImage.Width is expecting a Unit, not a string, so you need to
do a Unit.Parse("60%") or a Unit.Percentage(60).

HTH,

Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
I get an error stating that unit cannot convert to an integer, on both of
those attempts.

From the documentation:

HtmlImage.Width Property

Gets or sets the width of the image.

Public Property Width As Integer

Property Value

The width of the image.

It does, the sdk also states that you can also set the value as a
percentage. The problem is that it doesn't give an example or any
detail to that.

"By default, the Width property is expressed in pixels, but it can
also be expressed as a percentage of the window size." - straight from
the windows sdk, and that's all it has to say about it. But how??

It seems you've found a documentation error.

An integer is an integer, not a Unit. You can't use percentage in an
HtmlImage.

Any ideas on how to get around this. In addition to this being an issue,
when I attempt to do the following ( going back to my asp classic way of
thinking ) :

<img border="0" id="currentStatusImage" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=<% = srcInfo %> width="<% =
widthInfo %>%" height="6" runat="server"
I still get the integer error. I'd rather not make this a static image but,
the list of ideas grows smaller. Thanks.

You're still getting the error because you've still got the control marked
as runat="server", which means it's an HtmlImage, which means that the Width
property is an integer.

Do you really need the image to be a server control?

And why not use style="WIDTH:100%" :

currentStatusImage.Style["WIDTH"] = "100%"

html email not sending properly

Is there anything wrong with this ? I can't figure out why it does not work properly. I receive the email, but when I open the email in outlook express I see the HTML and BODY tags as plain text.

Am I doing something wrong? All my other emails seem to send fine.

Thanks for any assistance.

mike123

Dim objMail As New MailMessage()
objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
SmtpMail.Send("bob@dotnet.itags.org.hotmail.com", "admin@dotnet.itags.org.123.com", "subject", "<html><body><br><br>Username: <a href='http://www.123.com/a.aspx?userID=" & CStr(Session("id#")) & "' target='_blank'>" & CStr(Session("id")) & "</a><br><br>" & Request.Form("message") & "</body></html>")
 objMail = Nothing

hello,

The way you are using the SmtpMail.Send would ignore objmail making it obsolete and useless...

try:

Dim objMail As New MailMessage()
objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
objMail.To = "whoever@.mail.com"
objMail.From = "whoeveritsfrom@.mail.com"
objMail.Subject = "Subject Line"
objMail.Body = "<html><body>YOUR HTML HERE</BODY></HTML
SmtpMail.Send(objMail)
objMail = Nothing

Hope that helps
The version of SmtpMail.Send you are calling is only a shortcut that sends its own mail message. Under the covers, it creates a MailMessage object, fills it with the parameters you passed in, and sends it. So, it does not use the MailMessage object you created just before calling SmtpMail.Send. And, this method assumes the body type is text.

Instead, you should fill in the MailMessage object you created, and pass it into SmtpMail.Send, as follows:

Dim objMail as New MailMessage()
objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html
objMail.From = "bob@.hotmail.com"
objMail.To = "admin@.123.com"
objMail.Subject = "subject"
objMail.Body = "......"
SmtpMail.Send(objMail)

awesome, thanks!

HTML 4.01 Schema in VS2005

Is there a problem with the HTML 4.01 schema in Visual Studio 2005?
When I set the target schema for validation to HTML 4.01, I receive closing
tag errors.
Example:
Validation (HTML 4.01): Empty elements such as 'meta' must end with />.
I do not believe that is the correct validation. Empty elements in HTML 4.01
should not contain closing tags. Am I mistaken?

Not all elements are subject to that.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.1
Some HTML element types allow authors to omit end tags (e.g., the P and LI e
lement types).
The HTML DTD indicates for each element type whether the end tag is required
.
Some HTML element types have no content.
For example, the line break element BR has no content; its only role is to t
erminate a line of text.
Such empty elements never have end tags.
The Meta element, however, needs end tags because it should never be an empt
y element.

Thank you. I thought that was the case.
My point still is that VS 2005 HTML 4.01 validation is requiring ALL tags to
be closed, including break tags and image tags, in a manner similar to XHTML
1.1 validation.
Is it my installation or is this schema incorrect? (I am using VS 2005
Standard Edition with SP-1.)
