How are you planning to distribute this?

If by email then you really need to work to the same rules as apply for creating an email newsletter ie Html 3.2

If you are just going to send a link then you should be offering different content depending on their Browser capabilities.

this goes out to 300 + people…

So essentially to be viewed on the web.

In that case you should have some conditional styling for less capable browsers.

I am unsure how to do that in hype - or is that a freeway setting?

OR can I put a hype document in an HTML email?

It is a FW thing - basically you are hiding the Hype content from less capable browsers as they can’t see it.

That may mean that you have a different page that is IE8 friendly. The following code added via Page>Html Markup in the After Head section would do it.

<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<script type="text/javascript">window.location = "http://www.mysite.com/IE8-friendly.html";</script>
<![endif]-->

But you can also do it on an item by item basis but as you are using Hype then IE8 and below will probably not understand any of it.

I doubt that any email reader would understand that.

After head - but the point is that there should be IE8 friendly content at that address ie non Html5 stuff.

So instead of CSS3 transitions making your snow a simple javascript to do it. Essentially a much more simple page.

Would it make more sense if I had said http://www.mysite.com/simplecard.html

The page is literally just hype on a colored blank page…

I am still learning this back end. I am trying to learn to make it so that all can see.

So I think I would have been confused (as I am) either way

Especially since the code u gave me isn’t working like intended … But that probably is my own confusion

It is if you are getting a 404 - that just means that there is no actual page at that address. Did you make a page called: IE8-friendly.html

If you didnt create one then you aren’t going to see anything.

Make a simple page with no animations that gets the message across and call it IE8-friendly.html or whatever - the actual name is unimportant!

If you have IE8 try http://www.deltadesign.co/fw_examples/wide-page.html - or use NetRenderer at IE NetRenderer - Internet Explorer Compatibility Check - /

I took the redirect out it wasn’t working with this clients computer. - per hype it should work in IE8 so there was no “lighter” version of the card I could have done.

THe net renderer does only screen shots -which help but i can’t see the movement of the card to see if it works.

I have emailed them to see what is up…

Thanks!
