Responsive table in table - HTML email - html

I'm trying to make responsive email in HTML but i need to put very long table in table, which is a structure. It's not problem to make table responsive with overflow-x: auto, but it's difficult (for me) to make responsive table in table.
Here's codepen: https://codepen.io/Aventadorrre/pen/NWPeWdd
When you remove whole div table-wrapper then it works perfectly with small devices. When i have this table in table it's only scalling.

There are three general ways of tackling responsive tables in HTML emails. Overflow-x will not work across all email clients, so it's not a solution.
Hybrid Column Approach
What you have is:
[head1] [head2] [head3]
[data1] [data2] [data3]
[data4] [data5] [data6]
But what you'll need for mobile responsiveness is a vertical table:
[head1] [data1]
[head2] [data2]
[head3] [data3]
With the second row as another table:
[head1] [data4]
[head2] [data5]
[head3] [data6]
By using the hybrid email approach and hiding the repeated headers by default (for desktop), we can achieve this.
See full write-up with code example for 4 columns here: https://medium.com/#nathankeenmelb/bulletproof-responsive-datatables-in-html-emails-64248b9e18f5
Table as image
You can save the entire table as an image; that way you enable zooming and scrolling for all email clients.
However, it comes with a large drawback in that the data is inaccessible, and requires extensive interaction by the user to read (zooming, constant moving left/right & up/down).
Cards
Does it have to be done as a table? It may be a better approach to group data into a 'card', allowing you to use multiple lines (plus it reads a whole lot better!).

Button is overlapping the text in Outlook for Windows emails

I'm new to HTML emails and there is an issue I'm struggling with for a couple of days.
I have a two column layout with an image on the left side and some text and a button on the right side.
The issue seems to be the combination of vertical alignment of the column and the alignment of the button itself. The column's alignment can be top, middle, or bottom and the button's alignment can be left, center, or right. If the column's alignment is valign="middle" and the button's alignment is align="left" or align="right", the button overlaps the text. It seems the the issue is on Outlook for Windows as it looks fine on Outlook for Mac.
Here's how it looks on Outlook for Windows-
Here's how it is on Outlook for Mac (this is what I expect on Windows)
Here's the entire email code-

I also created a Codepen here.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the button's align property as it is the same as float:left or float:right which removes the button from normal document flow.
Any help is appreciated.
Anyhow, here's basically all the HTML you'd need for this, taking into account limitations of the different e-mail clients as well (thus only using accepted CSS).

Why is my left padding missing inside this inline css?

I am trying to add a responsive html email to send to the user a link to reset their password. The left padding is not working and I would like it to be responsive like the right side, to have the container always centered.
What line of code is missing inside my inline css for my left padding to perform?

Solution 1:
You can make your container centered for every screen and responsive by just changing your container class margin with (0 auto) which centers the div automatically.
.container {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto !important;
max-width: 580px;
padding: 10px;
width: 580px;
}
Watch the final result on my code_pen
Solution 2:
simply add align=center in your table tag.
Add align="center" on table
<table role="presentation" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="body">

Replace your code with this and see if this works:
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%; max-width:600px; border-collapse: collapse;">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="https://dummyimage.com/600x400/cf30cf/fff.jpg" alt="" style="margin: 0; border: 0; padding: 0; display: block; width:100%; max-width: 600px;">
</td>
</tr>
Edit:
Here is 2 tutorials they helped me while creating HTML emails:
Build an HTML Email Template From Scratch
How to Code a Responsive Email from Scratch
As pointed out by the other user, some of that space is coming from the the font size.
What I recommend is using either:
line-height: 0;
or
font-size: 0;
To remove that, and then put all text inside spans to put the size back up.
You also need to remove the padding from your cells,
tr, td {
padding: 0;
}
Complete changes required:
tr, td {
padding: 0;
line-height: 0;
}
span {
line-height: 1;
}
Plus wrap all text in spans.
use "font-size: 0;"
and I think solve your problem
Example:-
<td style="font-size: 0;"><img src="https://dummyimage.com/600x400/cf30cf/fff.jpg" alt="" style="width:100%; max-width: 600px;"></td>

HTML table doesn't start until next page if it's too large

I'm using WickedPDF to convert HTML to PDF and for some reason, even though I thought I had the proper HTML code, my tables still seem to be breaking onto the next page. Mind you, the information that starts in the <td> is actually a nested table, so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Here's what it looks like in the report:
Here's my CSS code that I'm working with:
<style>
p, ul {
color: #545658;
font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Arial";
font-weight: 500;
}
* {
font-family: "Arial";
}
h1 {
color: #ED1C24;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: "Arial";
}
th {
padding-top: 12px;
padding-bottom: 12px;
text-align: center;
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
td {
color: #545658;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
}
table.bordered {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.bordered td {
border: 1px solid black;
}
table.bordered tr:first-child td {
border-top: 0;
}
table.bordered tr td:first-child {
border-left: 0;
}
table.bordered tr:last-child td {
border-bottom: 0;
}
table.bordered tr td:last-child {
border-right: 0;
}
tr.bordered:nth-child(even) {background-color: #f2f2f2}
img.finding {
position:absolute;
width:60%;
height: 40px;
margin-left: -20px;
max-width: 100%;
z-index:-1;
}
p.finding {
display: inline;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 16pt;
line-height: 1.75em;
}
code {
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid #999;
display: block;
padding: 5px;
font-family: "Courier";
font-size: 9.5pt;
color: black;
}
pre {
white-space: pre-wrap; /* Since CSS 2.1 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
word-break: break-all;
}
table { page-break-inside: auto; width: 100%;}
thead { display: table-row-group; }
tr { page-break-inside: auto; }
</style>
What am I doing wrong that's causing my table to not start until the next page just because its contents is too large for the remainder of the previous page? I thought my tr { page-break-inside: auto; } line would have taken care of this. Is it because I have a nested table perhaps?
This ONLY happens on nested HTML tables. Normal HTML tables start on the same page no matter the length of the content.
Here's an example HTML table:
<html>
<body >
<table border=5 bordercolor=red>
<tr>
<td>
Fisrt Column of Outer Table
</td>
<td>
<table border=5 bordercolor=green>
<tr>
<td>
[lots of data right here]
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
[lots of data right here]
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Html Email Not Aligning Correctly In Thunderbird Only

I am creating an html calendar(cal.ics) invite and it works in email clients like Gmail, Firefox, and YahooMail. But when I try it in thunderbird, the paragraph(p) tags are always off to the right, even though I've explicity set attributes like align left, float: none, etc. Am I doing something wrong? The email is below, is there something missing in my css?

Tested your email in latest Thunderbird and paragraphs seem to be where they should be.
You may be however referring to the 20px padding set on the "container" with white background. Removing the padding will make the text stick to the left side of white space.
Since both Gmail and Yahoo ignore CSS in HEAD you do not see the padding there.
Personally I would advice against removing the padding for esthetic reason.
Preview in Thunderbird 38.5.1 (Windows)
The problem quite stupid actually. Apparently the spaces in the html were causing the problem.So I changed
<p style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: none; display: block;">
You have been invited to attend a meeting.
</p>
To
<p style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: none; display: block;">You have been invited to attend a meeting</p>
With no space and problem fixed
