I am trying to create a single page, will be used as a newsletter, so my code is html/css inline.
http://jsfiddle.net/Chamberja/6t9r14ew/
I want to add a background image behind that entire table so the logo and the text will appear in the foreground.
I have tried adding
style="background-image: url("bg.jpg")"
and
style= "background: url(bg.jpg)"
So the final code looks like
<table style="background: url(sportip.biz/alpha.jpg)" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left" class="deviceWidth">
<tr>
<td style="padding:10px 20px" class="center">
<img src="http://sportip.biz/nlsiplogo.jpg" alt="" border="0" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I think I am doing the in-line wrong.
I hope this is what you looking for:
<table style="background: url(sportip.biz/alpha.jpg)" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left" class="deviceWidth">
<tr>
<td style="padding: 10px 20px" class="center">
<img src="http://sportip.biz/nlsiplogo.jpg" alt="" border="0" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- End Logo -->
<!-- Nav -->
<table style="position: absolute; margin-top: 0; margin-left: 0;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="right" class="deviceWidth">

I have am trying to figure out how to have 3 columns in a table row but hide the first or the last depending on whether it's mobile or desktop. My original thought was to add another TD to the bottom and hide one via css with media queries but that didn't seem to work very well.
Desktop view with alternating images
Mobile view which needs the picture with the lady with the graduation hat above the What is a beneficiary grey box.

There is a way to do this without relying on media queries, if you'd like total coverage in all email clients. Using the dir attribute along with max-width, you can specify which <td> appears first on wide.
Start by laying out each table 2-column row in a mobile-first manner: The image in the first <td> and the text in the second. Because of the source order, when these layers stack the image will always be on top on the text. Once the column widths exceed their max-width, they'll stack without needing media queries.
This solves mobile, but how do you make some images appear in the right column on desktop? That's where dir comes in. Adding dir=rtl at the parent <td> causes containing elements to run in reverse. So the last column appears first.
Here is a basic example:
<tr>
<!-- dir=rtl is where the magic happens. This can be changed to dir=ltr to swap the alignment on wide while maintaining stack order on narrow. -->
<td dir="rtl" bgcolor="#ffffff" align="center" height="100%" valign="top" width="100%">
<!--[if mso]>
<table role="presentation" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="600">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top" width="600">
<![endif]-->
<table role="presentation" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%" style="max-width:600px;">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top" style="font-size:0; padding: 0;">
<!--[if mso]>
<table role="presentation" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="600">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="300">
<![endif]-->
<div style="display:inline-block; margin: 0 -2px; max-width:50%; min-width:280px; vertical-align:top;">
<table role="presentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td dir="ltr" style="padding: 0 10px 10px 10px;">
<img src="http://placehold.it/200" width="300" height="" border="0" alt="" style="width: 100%; max-width: 300px; height: auto;">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!--[if mso]>
</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="300">
<![endif]-->
<div style="display:inline-block; margin: 0 -2px; max-width:50%; min-width:280px; vertical-align:top;">
<table role="presentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td dir="ltr"> <!-- Don't forget to switch dir to ltr here, or else text runs in reverse -->
Text Goes Here
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!--[if mso]>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<![endif]-->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!--[if mso]>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<![endif]-->
</td>

If you layout each <tr> in a manner like this which the image in the first column, swapping the order of the columns in each row can be achieved by adding a dir=rtl to the parent <td>.
E-Mail-Clients are a bit tricky with their CSS.
You can order them the way you want them to be on mobile, and then add the following using for desktop:
position: relative;
left: -50%;
The remaining code depends on how you switch between two-column and one-column layout.
Most modern Mail programs support flexbox. With flexbox, you can re-order elements using the order property or by setting the direction to row-reverse.
I have been searching for a fix for this for days and have inserted many different CSS and HTML tags that aren't fixing my issue. I have four separate images in their own tables (as I read that Outlook puts in breaks where it's decided a page should end) but there is an enormous pixel break being inserted between my third and fourth image. Any tips at all are welcome. I removed some of the code for privacy but this is the general format I've used for each of the four images. Thanks!

I'm using an email template with inline style. Unfortunately the button in this template is not linked, but only the word in the button.
My problem: I've linked the whole table, but then it didn't look correctly in Firefox (blue underline, some wrong pixels on left-hand side).
How can I link the whole button correctly?

Put the table in a containing div and use javascript to link to hyperlink the div.
I am making an HTML Email and have decided to use tables for each of the nav elements. I need the tables to be displayed inline. I used display:inline-block; on the table creating the desired result,
However the TEXT inside the table will not align. I have placed the text-align: center; in the table, td, and a tag but it has not worked.
I know the method works with divs but I can't find a solution for tables.

here is the not working code

You need to set a width attribute on your table cells.
Example:
<table class="navInline" width="130" height="35" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#999966" style="text-align:center;">
<tr>
<td align="center" width="130">option 1</td>
</tr>
Can't say I agree with the chosen answer about adding width.
Your issue is the inline-block attribute. It's affecting all the user-agent defaults of the table child elements. Simply, replace display:inline-block with float:left and you get the same results with all the other css stlying falling into place. (text align e.g.)
.navInline {
float:left;
vertical-align:top;
text-align: center !important;
}
Here is a fiddle applying the new style.

BUT IMPORTANTLY... Your question states you are making an email template. Classes may not work. What I know from making html based emails, best practices are to add inline styles.
This link may be very helpful

I was able to resolve your issue using a list and not using any DIVs. It's much cleaner. Working code can be found in this JSFiddle:
HTML
<ul class="navInline">
<li>option1</li>
<li>option2</li>
<li>option3</li>
</ul>
CSS
.navInline li {
display:inline-block;
list-style:none;
border: 1px solid #333;
padding: 5px;
background-color: yellow;
}

This is a problem I've come across with Outlook 2007,2010 and of course 2013. They don't like small cells.
I've found this code has worked for me and gone through Litmus tests.
<tr height="1">
<td width="482" height="1" align="left" valign="top" background="#000000" style="background:#000000;font-size: 1px; line-height: 0px; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;"> </td>
</tr>
The mso-line-height-rule: exactly; is an outlook specific style. The font-size: 1px should match however much height you want your cell to be. The line-height: 0px; zero's out any line-height space.
HOWEVER, after testing your code snippet with the updated cells this doesn't seem to be the actual problem. I made the spacer cells black so I could better see what was actually going on.
The black spacer cell ends well above the copy, ie. it's not pushing your text down. The issue is actually the cell with the white copy in it.
I added a line height to the cell and removed the border-collapse:collapse; (you don't need it on individual cells. You may just want to double check your superscripts are all good.
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="561" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; color: #ffffff;"><font color="#ffffff">Hurry, offer ends October 31!<sup style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; vertical-align: 8px"><font color="#ffffff">1</font></sup></font></td>
</tr>
This was the result:
Hope that helps.
Outlook has a minimum cell height of 19px, so the 15px cell you have as the spacer in seems to be expanding, evern though you have the font-size and line-height zero'd out.
An alternative way to do it, is instead of having your text sandwiched between two spacer rows, make 1 taller row and vertically center it instead:
<tr>
<td valign="middle" width="561" height="50" style="font-size: 18px; color: #ffffff; border-collapse: collapse;"><font color="#ffffff">Hurry, offer ends October 31!</font><sup style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; vertical-align: 8px"><font color="#ffffff">1</font></sup></td>
</tr>
Throughout your whole email, you don't really need separate rows for each line of text, just use <br> instead to separate the rows.
I agree with John. Just use the breaks to create vertical whitespace. You're making it more difficult for yourself, without any reason :-)
Just put the right attributes at their right place: your use of the font-tag is overwhelming, as is the border-collapse:collapse and the font-size:0; line-height:0;.
If you want to create a whitespace, give a height at the TD (20px) and style="font-size:20px; line-height:20px;", with a BR-tag inside (no nbsp).
See my example:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="561" align="center" style="border-collapse:collapse; mso-table-lspace:0pt; mso-table-rspace:0pt;">
<tr><td bgcolor="#4b88cf" align="left" style="font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:40px; line-height:46px; color:#ffffff;"><br />Save 10% on all<br />EasyACCT 2013 products.<br />Only 4 days left!<br /><br /></td></tr>
