I'm still trying to figure out how to put RSS in java or iframes in my newsletter, which uses basic HTML. I was told java can't be emailed but I look at the source of other newsletters with feeds and they seem to be able to email java scripts. Does anyone know how this can be done?

Javascript cannot be done with full compatability.  The only way that it can be done at all is if the receiving person is using web based e-mail. 

If you are using simple HTML, it does become much more difficult.  Some mailing list programs (such as the one used for Site-Reference) uses a web capture.  In other words, we provide a URL (http://www.site-reference.com/newsletterpreview.php) and the system figures out the rest.  If you can get yourself a system like this, then things will become much easier.

Do you have this ability?

I'm checking SR.

This is what I was told by the admin of my newsletter:

What you have to do is embed a dynamically create page in your newsletter. What you can't  do is put the feed directly into the newsletter.

So how on earth is this done? I hope it's a fairly simple code. I can create the newsletter on my server and embed it in the newsletter I send out. I'd like to learn how to do this.

Thanks

Ok, here is what you want to do...create a PHP page just like we talked about before in another thread that will serve as the template for your e-mail.  In the PHP you can parse the RSS feed.  When you are ready to send out the newsletter you can just copy the source from the PHP page by viewing the source of the page.  This will allow you to 'embed' a dynamic page in your newsletter.

Super. Perfectly easy. I can even do it:)

Thanks Mr SR.
