liamloveslearning Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi everyone, I have an html newsletter Im planning on sending out however its not displaying in browser clients correctly and im terrible with working with tables, The newsletter should display like http://www.signworldgroup.com/eshot/new_site/main.html only the widths all vary in email clients, can anybody advise me on whether to go ahead and trust they click the link at the top? or try and validate it somehow?

Your width is like 150 px more than the recommended width. You should trying slimming it down. Recommended width should not exceed 600px. 550 is the recommended.

dgoosens Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 just so you know... Outlook 2007 does not allow you to use width's it does not allow background images neither (nor do Gmail's webclient, and Hotmail...) actually, Outlook 2007 does not allow a lot of things... This is because the people at M$ figured it would be a good idea to use Word instead of IE to render the mails... Ergo, creating web mails is a real pain !! You might want to check out these sites... I've found them rather useful: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssemail/ http://xavierfrenette.com/articles/css-support-in-webmail/ http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/2533/a-guide-to-css-support-in-emai-2/ because of all this, you really should not look at mail-creation as a simple HTML coding... also, bear in mind that there are regulations about mailings... for instance, you have to allow users to unsubscribe from you mailing list...

liamloveslearning Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks for that dgoosens, Ive read up on a lot of the laws and made sure my emails comply, Id much rather sent plain text with few elements of html but my bosses are very naive to the fact they may display incorrectly.
