Hey,

more HTML email problems. Testing my email:Threesixty newsletter, I found that some email clients ignore the background colour...So I found this article: Rock solid HTML emails. As it suggests, I've wrapped my email in a 100% width table and added my background colour to this table – not working! Have I made a mistake in my code, I've checked it over, or any ideas how to fix this?


cheers

I'm not 100% certain, but I think Outlook 2007 ignores the background colour in nested tables.

Outlook 2007 seems to ignore alot of stuff!!

The bgcolor isn't appearing when I preview the mail in my browser though, so I have to have made a mistake somewhere...

Firebug shows that cell doesn't contain anything so check your code carefuly. As a quick fix, try setting the bgcolor attribute on the table instead of the cell.
