No previous message | Next message →
I've been working on a web page for a newsletter that will be e-mailed, using CSS (admittedly as a novice) to create the 2-column layout. The layout was intact when I received test messages from myself in Outlook 2003. I just got Outlook 2007, and the same page e-mailed does not preserve the 2 column layout. Mailing myself a few pages from some accessibity web sites, I notice there is the same problem. But if a page uses tables for layout, it works fine. Any advice?
Thanks,
Jane

When it comes to email your best bet is to stick with tables as email
progams are all over the place with what css they support.

[WebAIM] sending web pages from Outlook 2007

Use tables for layout.(?)
This article describes the layout regression of Outlook 2007...

Of particular note: "No support for float or position - Completely
breaking any CSS based layouts right from the word go. Tables only."
