html email with tables send from plsql package and viewed in lotus notes

问题

I was trying to send html from oracle plsql package..the code worked and i received the email in lotus notes client. But the html table gets shrunk when window size is changed in lotus notes.

Please help me what should i put in html code to avoid this.. In the table style, i had included table layout : fixed, cellpadding and cellspacing to zero also included max width and min width and max height and min height to lock the table from getting shrunk. Here is my code:

<html>
  <head>
    <style>
      table.table1 {
        Cellspacing: 0;
        Cellpadding: 0;
        max-width:500pt;
        min-width:500pt;
        border: 1px solid black;
        Border-collapse: collapse;
        table-layout: fixed;
      }
      Tr,td {
        Border-collapse: collapse;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <table class="table1">
      <tr> <td>Sl.no</td> <td>Date</td> <td>Item Name</td> <td>Number of items</td> <td>Delivery date</td> </tr>
      <tr> <td>1</td> <td>17 Nov 2016</td> <td>Battery</td> <td>11</td> <td>20 Dec 2016</td> </tr>
  </body>
</html>

But all of this fails in lotus notes 8.5.

Sadly, I have not figured out a reliable way to get the Lotus Notes client to do style tags.^[1] You could try the style attributes within each cell, but your best bet is to avoid CSS wherever possible and, however painful it may be, force your table width with a row like²

<tr><td colspan="5"><img width="500" height="1" src="../../DelOptionSpacer.gif"/></td></tr>

Where the source leads to the database's DelOptionSpacer.gif image resource (which is a clear gif in the 9.0 mail template... not sure about 8.5). You might be better off with a src of ="../../DelOptionSpacer.gif?OpenImageResource"

Other tips:

You are missing your </table> tag at the end.
You might wish to consider using <th> tags instead of <td> tags in the first row.

I know Domino can be frustrating sometimes! I often tell people it's like building with Duplo blocks - you can get close to what you want VERY quickly but, often, it's not easy to get exactly what you want.
