Html – Outlook 2013 only image gap in HTML email

emailhtmlimageoutlook-2013

I'm having an issue with my HTML email in Outlook 2013 only, it looks great in previous versions including 2007 and 2010.

I've added style="display:block;
My table and td have a black background color.
I tried specifying width and height on the td and the img
and a line-height style as suggested on a previous post here for the containing td.

Here's the code:

<table width="200" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="right" bgcolor="#000000"><tr><td width="156" height="158" style="background-color:#000000; line-height:13px;"><img src="http://identifix.skmgroupwork.com/email/iden074/images/JerryGTruglia.jpg" width="156" height="158" align="right" alt="Jerry G Truglia" style="padding: 0px 20px 0px 0px; width: 156px; height: 158px;display:block;"></td></tr></table>

Containing code:

<table width="510" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="" bgcolor="#000000">
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 30px 0px 40px; ">

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks,

Douglas, I tried to add an image but it says I need at least 10 reputation to post it, and I only have 1 now. The link to it is this http://identifix.skmgroupwork.com/email/iden074/images/snip.JPG

In litmus tests only on Outlook 2013 a strange white, not even aligned gap, to the right of the image that is not supposed to be there appears.

Following worked for me :

<td style="line-height:0px; mso-line-height-rule:exactly;">

JavaScript

Try it yourself on JSFiddle.

You can filter the input values of a text <input> with the following setInputFilter function (supports Copy+Paste, Drag+Drop, keyboard shortcuts, context menu operations, non-typeable keys, the caret position, different keyboard layouts, and all browsers since IE 9):

// Restricts input for the given textbox to the given inputFilter function.
function setInputFilter(textbox, inputFilter) {
  ["input", "keydown", "keyup", "mousedown", "mouseup", "select", "contextmenu", "drop"].forEach(function(event) {
    textbox.addEventListener(event, function() {
      if (inputFilter(this.value)) {
        this.oldValue = this.value;
        this.oldSelectionStart = this.selectionStart;
        this.oldSelectionEnd = this.selectionEnd;
      } else if (this.hasOwnProperty("oldValue")) {
        this.value = this.oldValue;
        this.setSelectionRange(this.oldSelectionStart, this.oldSelectionEnd);
      } else {
        this.value = "";
      }
    });
  });
}

You can now use the setInputFilter function to install an input filter:

setInputFilter(document.getElementById("myTextBox"), function(value) {
  return /^\d*\.?\d*$/.test(value); // Allow digits and '.' only, using a RegExp
});

See the JSFiddle demo for more input filter examples. Also note that you still must do server side validation!

TypeScript

Here is a TypeScript version of this.

function setInputFilter(textbox: Element, inputFilter: (value: string) => boolean): void {
    ["input", "keydown", "keyup", "mousedown", "mouseup", "select", "contextmenu", "drop"].forEach(function(event) {
        textbox.addEventListener(event, function(this: (HTMLInputElement | HTMLTextAreaElement) & {oldValue: string; oldSelectionStart: number | null, oldSelectionEnd: number | null}) {
            if (inputFilter(this.value)) {
                this.oldValue = this.value;
                this.oldSelectionStart = this.selectionStart;
                this.oldSelectionEnd = this.selectionEnd;
            } else if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(this, 'oldValue')) {
                this.value = this.oldValue;
                if (this.oldSelectionStart !== null &&
                    this.oldSelectionEnd !== null) {
                    this.setSelectionRange(this.oldSelectionStart, this.oldSelectionEnd);
                }
            } else {
                this.value = "";
            }
        });
    });
}

jQuery

There is also a jQuery version of this. See this answer.

HTML 5

HTML 5 has a native solution with <input type="number"> (see the specification), but note that browser support varies:

Most browsers will only validate the input when submitting the form, and not when typing.
Most mobile browsers don't support the step, min and max attributes.
Chrome (version 71.0.3578.98) still allows the user to enter the characters e and E into the field. Also see this question.
Firefox (version 64.0) and Edge (EdgeHTML version 17.17134) still allow the user to enter any text into the field.

Javascript – How to implement multiple popups

The reason it didn't work was that for every #go #go1 #go2 popup links, you need three separate event handlers, not just one. That's why multiple boxes pop-ups when you click on one, and none pop-ups when you click on the other two.

To get this to work I would rewrite the popup script to support multiple popups. But you can simply do this procedurally without using functions.

HTML (Merge the code below with yours. The IDs, Class names relate to the javascript)

<li id='sinopsi' class='openlink'>Sinopsi
  <div class='popup' id='popup1'>Popup 1<span class='closex'>x</span></div>
</li>

<li id='fitxa' class='openlink'>Fitxa
  <div class='popup' id='popup2'>Popup 2<span class='closex'>x</span></div>
</li>

<li id='autors' class='openlink'>Autors
  <div class='popup' id='popup3'>Popup 2<span class='closex'>x</span></div>
</li>

JavaScript

<script>
$(function(){

$('#sinopsi').click(function(){  // Activates the popups
  $('#popup1').fadeIn('fast')
});

$('#fitxa').click(function(){
  $('#popup2').fadeIn('fast')
});

$('#sinopsi').click(function(){
  $('#popup3').fadeIn('fast')
});

/* //Note that if your HTML is properly nested you could easily have this command execute your popups instead of the three above

$('.openlink').click(function(){
  $(this)
    .find('.popup')  // finds your nested popup div
    .fadeIn('fast')
  ;
});

*/

$('.closex').click(function(){  // closes the popup, when X is clicked
  $('.popup').fadeOut('fast');
});

$('.popup').keypress(function(e){  // close popup via ESC key.
  if(e.keyCode==27){
    $(this).fadeOut('fast');
  }
}); 

$('.popup').css({opacity: "0.7"}); // copies over the transparency 

});
</script>

CSS (make sure the popups loaded hidden.)

.popup{display:none}

Good luck mate, the site looks good btw. You should really learn more about jQuery, it's pretty powerful and really easy to use compared to just JavaScript. I'd think you'll enjoy it.

http://jquery.com/ http://api.jquery.com/click/

p.s. Don't get to worried about all those anonymous functions function(){//do stuff}, it's just a shorthand of function bar(){//do stuff} $('.open').click(bar)
