I've been working on a newsletter template and I'm having problems with it showing up correctly in email clients. I'm looking for some inline css expertise .
Here is my newsletter template I've been working on myjokemail.com/newsletter/NewestWhite.php One is I can't figure out why I keep getting the ? all over the place. Two is I can't figure out how to make the pictures thumbs like the videos. I've had a few people work on it over the last year and its a pretty big mess. The other and probably the biggest is when I go to use a program called phplist to send it it loses the layout.
Well the ?'s are all characters that the browser doesn't understand. Could be anything really, looks like it's where there should be line breaks or something, i'm not entirely sure in this case (i'd have to see the origial code), it could be a symbol that you arn't using the code for or something like that. The pictures are thumbs...do you mean side by side like the video thumbs are? I have no idea about phplist though.
we need to see the actual code. what are you using to create this file? why is it a php page if you are trying to send it through email? make sure that you have html email turned on in the phplist control panel or whatever it uses. by the way, there have been some security issuses with phplist in the recent past. I would check that out before you go much further with it. robert
As soon as I can post in the Buy Sell Trade forum I want to hire someone to come in and redo it. Its a real mess of code. Its php because it pulls information from mysql database to fill it in each day for me. It does work I have another one here myjokemail.com/newsletter/Newest.php thats all in black but my members complained the black one is to hard to read and to wide for most of there email clients.
I've found with emails that using tables (yes I know they are evil) are better as they are more rigid than css and I've never had any problems using them with outlook, yahoo, goolge and msn mail.
