Html email header not positioning as should - html

I was asked to code an html mail (for mailing campaigns).
I've got everything working except the following piece of code.
What I try to do is having an image with other elements on top like titles, a button, a logo, ...
I had all that (not commented lines), but to make it responsive I had to make some changes (commented lines) and then the layout was completely messed up.
To make it even more of a challenge, it's quite horrifying to watch in outlook (even the not commented lines) so a solution for that would be nice to have as well (outlook seems to strip all positioning attributes)

position:absolute won't work in gmail.
Outlook is using HTML renderer, so you might run into some issues in Outlook as well.

Responsive Email - Border Won't Remove

I'm working on a two-column reponsive email. Everything is appearing perfect except that I can't get the right border in one of my TDs to remove on mobile. I have the following style set:
td.copy { padding-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0; border-right: none; padding-bottom: 20px; }
Strangely, the bottom border is adding just fine.
Here is my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't figure this one out.

Outlook 2016 inserting thin lines underneath nested tables

I've been having an issue with how outlook has been displaying table HTML for a while now, and I have not been able to resolve this issue for the life of me. Basically, there's a line that cuts through the containing <td> when nesting tables (see the slight gray line in the attached image to the right of the purple <td>).
This is on email's code I've been working with as an example.

It displays fine as HTML, but I send mostly B2B stuff which means we're always trying to optimize for office. Sometimes the sizing of the banner image can affect it, but other than that one factor, when this happens seems completely arbitrary. It's the one Outlook workaround I haven't been able to figure out. Is there something in my code I'm missing?
Finnnaaalllly found the solution about ten min after posting this. Trick was to remove the padding inline css that was tied to the Lorem ipsum text within the table in the code.
I also fixed this in other instances where <p> tags applied to links in the tds also caused issue. Removing the <p> tags around the links within the table and any padding accompanying it fixes the issue.

HTML newsletter - aligning adjacent cells with different font-size to bottom

I am trying to develop an HTML newsletter and I am experiencing problems with alignment. I have two adjacent cells ("week" and "03/2013" with different font-size and they should be align to the bottom. Tha standard solution which renders well in browsers doesn't render well in Outlook 2007. So I used a heuristic percent value to align the cells and this works in Outlook. But it's no surprise that it doesn't work in iPhone/iPad. Does anybody know how to make it work on both?
Thanks a lot

try this one. basically, put those texts in the same cell instead of two.
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="letter-spacing: -0.01em; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; text-align: left;">
<tr>
<td height="29" width="474" style="color: #6f6f6f; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; border: #6f6f6f;"></td>
<td align="right" height="29" width="126" style="color: #6f6f6f; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; line-height: 115%;">WEEK <span style="letter-spacing: -0.04em; color: #6f6f6f; font-size: 22px; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold;">03 / 2013</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
Try set line-height of "week" to font size from date. (line-height: 22px;)
<td width="34" height="29" class="normal-text is-bold" style="vertical-align: bottom; color: #6f6f6f; font-weight: bold; border: #6f6f6f; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px;" valign="bottom">WEEK</td>
here: http://jsbin.com/anejax/1/
Or if u want all text aligned to bottom u have to set valign="bottom" in
<td class="has-border-bottom-5 w600" height="55" width="600" style="color: #6f6f6f; border-bottom: 5px solid #6f6f6f;" valign="bottom">
here: http://jsbin.com/ipafoh/1/
The title of the question says “to baseline”, but the text says “to the bottom”. And you are in fact using vertical-align: bottom.
I assume that you want baseline alignment. Then you should simply set vertical-align: baseline (and remove any code you might have added to try some heuristic – i.e., guesswork – adjustment to turn bottom alignment to baseline alignment).
In email always use the html valign="bottom" to align anything to the bottom of a table cell.
Example:
<table width="600" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="100" width="300" valign="bottom" style="font-size:12px;" bgcolor="#959595">
cell 1
</td>
<td height="100" width="300" valign="bottom" style="font-size:18px;" bgcolor="#858585">
cell 2
</td>

HTML newsletter - remove iphone underline

I am developing a newsletter which should work on Outlook 2007 iPhone and iPad.
Ideally I would like to have links in the footer which are underlined but iPad and iPhone add their blue underline automatically to any link. And I can't get rid of it in any way (I googled already and read at least 10 different articles about this problematic)
Can someone please help me understanding what I do wrong?
I tried with lists but I can't get them on the same line anymore.
This is my code:

To test my code I send the HTML page as email from IE8
So far, the only solution I found is including the links in a single-element unordered list. This will ensure that the right underline color is applied also on iPhone.
<td style="letter-spacing: 0; border-left: 1px solid #b2b2b2;" width="120">
<ul style='list-style:none;' class="list">
<li class="plus last" style='margin-left:8px; border-top:0px;border-bottom:0px;'>
<font style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 11px;color: #ffffff;">
<a href="http://www.test.com" target='blank'>Rss Feeds</a>
</font>
</li>
</ul>
</td>
and this is the style
.list {
list-style:none;
margin:0px 0 0px 0px;
padding:0;
}
li.plus {
display:block;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
text-decoration:none;
font-size: 12px;
}
li.plus a{
padding-left: 8px;
padding-right: 8px;
}
li.last a{
padding-right: 0px;
}
li.first a{
padding-left: 0px;
}
a:link {
color:#b2b2b2;;
text-decoration:underline;
}
a:visited {
color:#b2b2b2;;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover {
color:#b2b2b2;;
text-decoration:underline;
}
a:active {
color:#b2b2b2;;
text-decoration:none;
}
Just add this in your head section of the page
<style type=”text/css”>
.appleLinks a {color:#000000; text-decoration: none;}
.appleLinksWhite a {color:#ffffff; text-decoration: none;}
</style>
and it will stop links appearing blue in iOS and instead make them white. Just change the colour to what you require.
You can also throw plain <span> tags in between all text that would be turned into an unstyled link in outlook / gmail / ios, for example-
call 1 - 55<span>5 - 314 - 5</span>678
25 L Str<span>eet, Bosto</span>n MA 11385
