I have created a header for our companies email templates, luckily I was able to find a basic template on the web and tweak it to our requirements.
I am a real beginner when it comes to HTML so I am sure there are many errors in it too.
I need to figure out how to reduce the blue banner to 42px in height but everything I try ruins it. I have also been told that my 600 wide option is very old school and it should be 1200. I have tried to change this too, but then it loses all of the other formatting and looks terrible.
Its supposed to be responsive, if anyone could make any edit suggestions I would be very grateful.
header.txt
header.html
try changing the padding in the td containing the logo/image. To decrease the height of the blue banner, decrease the padiing at top and bottom of the above mentioned table data.
This helps you but another way is to decrease the logos height.
From looking at the codes, there is no specific "height" that is being assigned to the table containers that you can change to specify to 42px. The most that you can do is to remove the "top" and "bottom" padding from the containers inside to make the header's height smaller.
Here's a sample code with the changes. If you notice, I changed the top and bottom padding to 0px. For the second td, I left 5px for the top padding to add some spaces between the logos and the top edge of the screen. If you want to edit the width, I change the width to 800px but you also need to adjust the widths of the 2 containers inside the table. For example, I changed them from 270px to 370px each.
Lastly, I agree that this "template" that you found seems very complex and it would be better to learn a little bit of basic html and css and what you're trying to do is simple and can be done with much simpler codes. Good luck!

I just want to decrease the size of space between this two images I put in the table. I'm so sorry I know this is just a basic html code. Please help me.
This is the code:
<table class="sample" width="200" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" >
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="center">
<a href="#" ><img src="images/reception2.png" alt="" /></a>
</br>
SERVICES
</td>
<td align="center" valign="center">
<img src="images/services2.png" alt="" />
</br>
OFFERS
</td>
</tr>
</table>
It's hard to advise without seeing the CSS you are using. You could try adjusting the width of the table.
Demo here: http://codepen.io/sol_b/pen/VmQGzr
You can remove the inline style on your table and then target it in your CSS, like this:
.sample {
width: 200px;
}
Change the width to whatever works.
you can use margin property of CSS. for your question margin-right for the SERVICES img and margin-left for the OFFERS img are proper solutions.
Try to add this snippet:
<img src="images/reception2.png" alt="" style="margin-right: -25px"/>
<img src="images/services2.png" alt="" style="margin-left: -25px"/>
Also, You can change the number range to finally find the suitable numbers.
I've been screwing around with this for almost 2 hours and still can't get it to render the right way in Microsoft Outlook.
It was enough of a pain to get it to render in Internet Explorer, but I got it:
Still, here's how it looks as an HTML email in Outlook:
Don't worry about the line break for now; the problems I need to fix are
(1) The 1 pixel of white vertical space between the left piece and center piece
(2) The center piece having pixel more height than the left and right pieces
Here's the HTML:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<td align="left" width="6" height="35">
<img src="images/left-button-corner.png" style="display:block;"/>
</td>
<td align="left" valign="center" bgcolor="#0a9fda" style="padding: 0 10px;" width="220" height="35">
CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE
</td>
<td align="left" width="6">
<img src="images/right-button-corner.png" style="display:block;" height="35"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
If I can't get it, I'm going to give up and use a single image. Any input much appreciated!
In regard to the height issue.
The height of the middle td is the content height (in this case it is line-height) + padding-top + padding-bottom.
You can remove padding declaration and valign and width attributes to make text vertically aligned to the middle and your button will be scaling horizontally (no breaks). I assume that would be good choice, considering you coded fixed height value of 35px.
Example of the middle <td>:
<td align="center" bgcolor="#0a9fda" style="height: 35px;" height="35">
<a href="http://example.com" style="color: #FFF; font-size: 14px;
font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">
CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE</a>
</td>
Additional Notes
You can control how the call-to-action text should break by using entity. For example CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE will break after "HERE" if the td width is insufficient to fit the text in one line.
Images should have border: none inline style to prevent uncontrolled gaps.
Also note, that valign attribute value center is incorrect. It can have values of top, bottom, or middle which is default.
There are more issues with your code.
Validate your code with some tool, for example http://validator.w3.org/.
I would try the following.
Try align="right" on the left button image:
<td align="right" width="6" height="35">
<img src="images/left-button-corner.png" style="display:block;"/>

I am trying to send html emails with images. Images look good in all email clients but in outlook they are too wide. How to fix max-width of image?
<table id="cg-cmgxsgg" class="widget widget-image " width="580" data-widget-code="email-image">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<div><img src="http://vcap.me//file/get/ce2c1e66-2129-41e8-903c-a40300e7bbd0" width="580" alt="" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></div>
</td>
</tr>

Regardless of CSS support or HTML attributes, the main factor that is causing the issue in Outlook is the actual size of the image. Outlook usually ignores whatever HTML sizing (width= or height=) or CSS styling (width:, height:) and goes off of the embedded information in teh image. This is all based off DPI setting as well as the renderings of the Word HTML engine.
Mailchimp solutions
Below is snippet explaining the issue in more detail from here
"This issue usually happens when you are using a picture other than 96dpi.
When inserting a picture, Outlook will rescale the image as if it was a 96dpi image. This means that if you have a picture of 150dpi with a height of 88px, it will be displayed as an image of 56px high;
88px/150dpi * 96dpi = 56px
It even gets worse; upon sending, Outlook will convert and compress (re-render) the images to 96dpi with the new dimensions permanently! This means that all the "detailed" picture information is lost and you'll be sending an image of 96dpi which is 56px high. This is of course a severe and very visible quality loss.
If your picture is less than 96dpi, then the opposite happens. A picture of 88px high with a dpi of 32 would then result in a 96dpi image of 264px high. So the result will be a very large image (but this time you can resize it back without the image becoming blurry).
This is a long outstanding issue/function/design choice which goes back all the way to Word 6.0 from 1993."
For setting a max-width on images for Outlook I add a Width="600" attribute to the img tag. Note the lack of px on that size, with px it doesn't work and it must be on the img tag, not any parent element.
E.g.
<img width="600" src="http://www.myimage.co.nz/myimage.jpg" alt="My Image" />
On a side but related note I use a width of 280 for side by side images in a 600 width table. This is because Outlook adds padding (or maybe margin) and they would stack if you made them both 300.
Couple of things, I'd refrain from using floats etc in your emailer code and also would remove that wrapper div, with emailers you've really got to go with simple table markup. Also try to avoid things like p tags etc as they create additional space etc.
For your actual question I'd try something like this, I'd set a height on my image and ive it display:block
<table id="cg-cmgxsgg" class="widget widget-image" width="580" data-widget-code="email-image" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<img src="http://vcap.me//file/get/ce2c1e66-2129-41e8-903c-a40300e7bbd0" width="580" height="200" alt="" style="display:block;">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
max-width is not a supported CSS style in Outlook 2007. (Neither is float, apparently.) Outlook is notorious for providing very limited CSS support.
Your best solution is to specify a smaller width (and height) in the HTML attributes:
<td align="center">
<div><img src="..." width="500" height="300" alt="" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></div>
</td>
I'm a bit late to the party (got here via Google). What works for me, and what I didn't see in the answers, is conditional comments for Outlook.
They work like this:
<!--[if mso]>
<table align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100%;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="600" style="width:600px;">
<![endif]-->
<table align="left" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="min-width:100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<img align="center" alt="" src="[image source here]" width="[desired width here]">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!--[if mso]>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<![endif]-->
What your're doing here is essentially wrapping your image table in another table with fixed width, but only for Outlook.
MailChimp has a nice reference you should check out if you run into problems with Outlook: https://templates.mailchimp.com/development/css/outlook-conditional-css/
Hope this helps some fellow Googlers!
I am using this with perfect success in Outlook 365 (2022):
<img src="https://picsum.photos/1000/1000" width="100%" style="width: 100%;">
I have an html newsletter which works in most email carriers but the formatting is messed up in outlook. I have put vspace="10" on the image tag to put 10px margin on the top and bottom of the image to have a space between the image and text below it. However, in Outlook the vspace is not being picked up and the text appears directly under the image with no space between.
Does anyone know how to get this to work? I tried to put a margin-bottom of 10px on the image, but again this did not work.
It might be easier to use a nested table and define the height of the row to be 10px. What you are contending with in Outlook 2007+ is Word HTML rendering which handles CSS in it's own special way.
With HTML Email there is a lot of nuances between the different browsers. One thing i have learnt from creating emails is that it needs to be extremely simple. Both margin & padding are not supported by Outlook (due to it using the word rendering engine).
The solution
Replace the image and the space with a table containing 2 spacer gifs and the image in the centre. For example (you need to use absolute paths to your images):
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img style="display:block" border="0" src="images/spacer.gif" width="IMAGEWIDTH" height="10" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<img style="display:block" border="0" src="YOUR IMAGE" width="" height="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<img style="display:block" border="0" src="images/spacer.gif" width="IMAGEWIDTH" height="10" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I have made an HTML-Newsletter Template. I have one Bug. How can i adjust images in table layouts? I have tried to to use margin but that wont work on Outlook 2010.
Here ist the Code-Snipet from the image: `
<table id="logo" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="0" width="620" align="center">
<td width="161" height="24" align="left" valign="top">
<a title="www.xxx.xxx besuchen" href="http://www.xxx.xxx/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.xxx.xxx/images/header/logo_sub.gif" border="0" alt="www.xxx.xxx besuchen" style="margin-left:-13px !important;"/></a>
</td>
</table>`
Try adding columns and rows to the table. Stick the image in one of the middle columns and apply widths and heights to the surrounding columns to get the image into place.
