Problems with html code

[ep2002]

Hi all,

I'm offering a special to my clients & in order to do so, I have to send them the shopping cart link in notepad.

B/c it looked so lame, I started trying to jazz it up a bit, so I added a logo & made the heading a purple colour from my CSS from my web site. When I went to look at the final version, the logo & purple are missing yet the text has changed. :(

I tried uploading it onto my server, but I didn't think that was going to solve the problem & it didn't b/c the file is coming from the HD, not the server.

What have I done wrong?

Here is the code, thanks & have a great night !

is there a file called "logo 20(4.09).gif" in a logo subdirectory?
e.g.has the stuff in brackets been added as an extra and screwed up the link?

Also where do you link to your website style sheet?

Also would table-less design be easier? e.g.
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="logo/logo%20(4.09).gif" style="margin: 1em auto;" width="194" height="91">
<h1 style="color: purple; /*insert hex color */">Your Holiday Special from Exotic Publishing </h1>

actually this might look better
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 300px;">
<img src="logo/logo%20(4.09).gif" style="margin: 1em auto;" width="194" height="91">
<h1 style="color: purple; /*insert hex color */">Your Holiday Special from Exotic Publishing </h1>

Wow, I finally got in. Dani's was down for a while. What happened?

The logo name has been changed, b/c as someone pointed out, it had spaces in it.

This is NOT NOT NOT a web page. I stated that in my first post. It's a notepad that I'm going to be attaching to an e-mail to send to my customers.

I took away the CSS b/c/ there's no way for the file to find the CSS since it's not a live site & I'm still having problems getting the logo to show up.

I think I have to make it like this... http://www.mysite.com/logo/logoname.gif

but I don't know what code to put around it so it shows up.

Any advice?

Thanks :)

I would use
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/logo/logoname.gif" style="margin: 1em auto;" width="194" height="91">
