I'm getting the below error when trying to apply HTML coding withing the MESSAGEBODY line. Any help would be great. I am very new to ASP, so please bear with me.

Cheers

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/Default.asp, line 181

oME.MessageBody = "<html><head><title>Realty Presenter Test</title></head><body>Thank You for subscribing to our list Notification. To complete your subscription, please click the CONFIRMATION link below.<a href="mailto:listaddress@domain.com?subject=subscribe">*Confirmation*</a>Thank You, Subscription Manager</body></html>"

Change to:

oME.MessageBody = "<html><head><title>Realty Presenter Test</title></head><body>Thank You for subscribing to our list Notification. To complete your subscription, please click the CONFIRMATION link below.<a href=""mailto:listaddress@domain.com?subject=subscribe"">*Confirmation*</a>Thank You, Subscription Manager</body></html>"

Reason: When you assign a string containing quotes you need to represent the quote in the literal string as a double quote. ie: "".
This allows ASP to identify the difference between the end of string and quotes within the string.

Dave, thank you for such a quick reply.
Is it also possible to include images from an internet source?

Thanks

For Sure - Example:

Code: Select all

oME.MessageBody = "<html><head><title>Realty Presenter Test</title></head><body><p>Thank You for subscribing to our list Notification.<br> To complete your subscription, please click the CONFIRMATION link below.<a href=""mailto:listaddress@domain.com?subject=subscribe"" BORDER=0><img src=""http://www.mailenable.com/head_proedition.gif""></a></font></p><p>Thank You, <br> Subscription Manager</font></p></body></html>"
