html email template with style sheet

peterb1985 · May 11, 2004

I use this very simple html page as an email template, that displays my logo at the top of the email where it cannot be deleted. When i send emails to certain people the image is repeated across the entire email even though i have repeat set to no. Someone also told my that it happens on office 2000 but not on office xp (i don't know if this is true).

What am i doing wrong? Can it be fixed?

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<title></title></head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Cheers
Pete

CSS is not supported properly, fully or at all in most email clients.

If you want to send email in this way, then there is nothing you can really do about it.

It could be though that the extra "}" in the background-repeat part is causing a problem.

My money is on the extra }, too ;o)

To be precise, we have either extra } at the end or an extra ;} at the end. Anyway, your style should look like this:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
    <!--
        body { background-image:url(logo.gif);
            background-position:top left;
            background-repeat:no-repeat; }
    -->
</style>

If you still experience problems with this kind of code, try putting a div the size of your logo on top of the page and apply background only to that div. That should fix repeating.
