HTML code on multiple lines

Rick0825 · Post by **Rick0825** » Sat Jul 06, 2024 4:52 pm

I have an email that im trying to add HTML code to the body of the email. It works great when all the code is on the same line but..... Its WAY to much on 1 line. I used word wrap but its still to messy. Does it have something to do with creating the body in a variable? Is there any other way?

Code: Select all

Let>SMTP_HTMLBODY=1
Let>body=<html>
<head>
<style>
table {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 100%;
  font-size: 14px;
}
td, th {
  border: 1px solid #dddddd;
  text-align: left;
  padding: 8px;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {
  background-color: #f2f2f2;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2 style="font-size: 18px;">Alarms</h2>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Alarm</th>
    <th>Status</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alarm 1</td>
    <td>Active</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alarm 2</td>
    <td>Inactive</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Use Labeltovar

I found a solution but have no idea how or why it works, but maybe it can help others.

Code: Select all

Let>SMTP_HTMLBODY=1
LabelToVar>MyLabel,body
IncludeFromVar>body

/*
MyLabel:
<html>
<head>
<style>
table {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 100%;
  font-size: 14px;
}
td, th {
  border: 1px solid #dddddd;
  text-align: left;
  padding: 8px;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {
  background-color: #f2f2f2;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Alarm</th>
    <th>Status</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alarm 1</td>
    <td>Active</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alarm 2</td>
    <td>Inactive</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
*/

Another question then. What if I wanted to change the text to a variable inside the HTML table as shown here.

Code: Select all

<body>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>%Alarm%</th>
    <th>%Status%</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>%Alarm 1%</td>
    <td>%Active%</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>%Alarm 2%</td>
    <td>%Inactive%</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>

I created the variables using GetClipBoard but they display in an email as %Alarm% inside the table. I also tried '%Alarm%'. They do however display correctly when using MessageModal.

LabelToVar>LabelName,VariableName[,WantLineBreaks,IgnoreVariables,EndToken

Thanks, but im not sure this was helpful?
LabelToVar>LabelName,VariableName[,WantLineBreaks,IgnoreVariables,EndToken
https://www.mjtnet.com/manuals/b/v15/in ... ntext=3980
The line breaks & ignore variables default to 0 if that's what you were trying to point out?

There were 2 issues with my code.
1. The assigned variables must be above the LabelToVar> command.
2. MS does not like the % sign. In my HTML code I had "width: 100%" that I had to change to "width: 600".

Im sure these are rookie mistakes but that's why I continue to post in the beginner forum. So much to learn.

1.
Yes the command needs to be above the label.

2.
Let>PERCENT=%

Code: Select all

width:100%PERCENT%
