How to get background image working in webmail outlook web? - html

I am trying to build an email template. However I have a background image that is not showing up in the Outlook Web i.e. in the webmail. :( :(
I can not seem to figure out how to get that working for webmail. Does anyone know how to?
Thanks in advance

background-image is not supported in outlook.com or outlook 2007/10/13.
Source: The Ultimate Guide to CSS
I suggest using something like Bulletproof background images that provide a fallback color. Otherwise, if you have to have a background image, you will need to slice the text with background images and use img tags.

After lots of googling and hours wasted, realized that OWA does not support background image in normal mode. But when opened in full view, the image shows up. Beats me !

Having html background image show in dark mode

(If I've used the wrong tag for this please move to appropriate section.)
I've seen some articles online about using CSS or plain HTML for controlling light/dark mode appearance based on the user's preference, i.e., what they choose on their browser. I've made webpages where the image showed up once the mode was changed but it's either in a div, section, etc. But when I made a background image in the html area then once the it's changed to dark mode the image disappears replaced by black. I hope I've explained that well. Anyway, suggestions to solve this will be appreciated. By the way, I do not want to darken the background image since it's already of a softer light which doesn't jar the dark mode.
Thank You

Outlook Desktop Background Images

Is there any WORKING example of an email that will show a background image?
Even "bulletproof" VML solutions won't really work, ex:

How make background image on newsletter in outlook?
Tried, VML, img tags, background images on different tags, svg, nothing seems to really work for Outlook Desktop.
For the record, background images will work anywhere but Outloook Desktop client (gmail, outlook web/mobile, etc).
Thanks.
The background-image CSS property is not supported by the Word editor in Outlook. You can read more about supported and unsupported HTML elements, attributes, and cascading style sheets properties in the Word HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook article.
Word renders HTML images in Outlook, and it does not support background images for the body HTML element. Try to create a table that takes the whole client area and specify a background image for that table.

Html css image problems windows IE FF GChrome

I have a website I have just built. Everything looks reasonable in Mac browsers, but in windows browsers such as IE there seems to be some rendering problems in terms of very thin sketchy white lines in between where the main header image butts joins the surrounding background image, and also between the background image and the surrounding background colour. The images were created in photoshop. I'm probably not explaining it very well, but please take a look at the site. The link is below. Thankyou

Sprites displaying fuzzy in Chrome 29.0.1547.57

When designing my site i noticed that under dark backgrounds all of the images I used as sprites turn out like this:
I have tried multiple versions on PNGs and GIFs. IT works fine under firefox.
However, if i do not use sprites the image displays as:
This is the same exact image just without any positioning tags.
Can anyone help?
I fixed it. The issue was my cache needed to be cleared!

Displaying SELECT tag larger in mobile browser

I'm trying to design a mobile version of a website and the SELECT tag is displaying very tiny on the iPhone. Please see attached screenshot. I'm trying to design it closer to specs that client layed out in a photoshop file. Please see screenshot of how client would like it to appear. Any suggestions on how to make this happen? I've tried to use CSS to size width and height to no avail.
This is for a mobile website and not a native app.

There is nothing much you can do to standard HTML select tag. I think you can achieve this by using some java script based UI components. Have a look at one of jQuery plugin called Choosen
