Set a MIME Body from HTML

Demonstrates the Chilkat Mime.SetBodyFromHtml method, which sets the body as HTML and changes the media type to text/html. The only argument is the HTML text.

Background: Setting an HTML body is how you produce the rich-formatted part of a message. Chilkat marks it text/html and chooses the encoding based on the content — 7bit for ASCII, a charset-aware encoding otherwise. In practice an HTML email is usually paired with a plain-text alternative inside a multipart/alternative so clients that cannot render HTML still have readable text.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

//  Demonstrates the Mime.SetBodyFromHtml method, which sets the body as HTML and changes the media
//  type to text/html.  The only argument is the HTML text.

var mime = new CkMime();

var html = "<html><body><h1>Hello</h1><p>This is an HTML body.</p></body></html>";
success = mime.SetBodyFromHtml(html);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Content-Type: " + mime.ContentType);
