ALL GOOD WISHES FOR 2005 AND MAY ALL OUR DREAMS BE FULFILLED !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know whether I am allowed to do this but what I want to do is use this script in a stationery but unfortunately the pictures don't show up on the other side when I use the script as is because there isn't a   "link"   to the pictures - all they see on the other side are little squares with red crosses flying around (supposed to be ghosts).  It works fine on my side because I have the pictures in my file.  I downloaded the script from DynamicDrive.  I noticed all the scripts on Dynamic Drive are the same in this respect (nowhere to link the picture).  They look as if they are only for a web page?

From looking at all the beautiful and clever scripts in the Microsoft Privatenews I'm sure there is some "fundi" out there who will be able to convert it for me (if it is permitted).

I am not very clued up with scripts,  very new  at doing this - trying to teach myself - only know how to copy and paste them into my emails!!!

I would be so grateful if someone can tell/show me how to do this.

Many thanks
Kathy

Your problem is that you do not indicate a complete filepath (i.e.,
drive/folder, etc.) to your images:

JSFX.ghostImages = new Array(
"<img src='ghost0.gif'>",
"<img src='ghost1.gif'>",
"<img src='ghost2.gif'>",
"<img src='ghost2.gif'>"

will not work since there is no file path to ghost0, 1, or 2.gif and Outlook
Express cannot find them, so they are not included as attachments.  You
should also remove this statement from your source code:

<BASE href="file://C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Stationery\Ghost\">

Good luck.

Thanks for your help, Jim.  I tried to do what you said but it still doesn't work for me probably because I haven't set it down the way it should be.  What you saw in the script was exactly the way I downloaded it - all I did was save it in my stationery folder with the pictures. I didn't know how to convert for Outlook Express.
On other stationery I have the filepath is clear and all I do is put my info in (i.e "C:\MY FOLDER\MY PIC.gif".)  I don't know how to do the (filepath) with the Halloween (ghosts) script.
SEE BELOW AS IT IS ON SCRIPT

(!window.JSFX) JSFX=new Object();
JSFX.ghostImages = new Array(
"<img src='ghost0.gif'>",
"<img src='ghost1.gif'>",
"<img src='ghost2.gif'>",
"<img src='ghost2.gif'>"
)

I really must apologise for being so dumb about this but I am a novice and I am trying to teach myself with a bit of help from you kind folk.

regards
Kathy

Do you have the ghost(x).gif files on your hard drive?  If so, Windows Explorer should show the file path to them.  Delete the BASE Href tag from your stationery as it's pointing to the files being found in a different folder and will cause problems if you allow it to remain.

Also you might try posting to the private stationery group:

The private server can be accessed using the following settings in a new
news account:

Server:  privatenews.microsoft.com
Account Name:  privatenews\stationery
Password: stationery
