css padding is not working in outlook

问题

I have following html in email template.

I am getting different view in MS Outlook and in gmail for the same.

<tr>
    <td bgcolor=\"#7d9aaa\" style=\"color: #fff; font-size:15px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 12px 2px 12px 0px; \">
    <span style=\"font-weight: bold;padding-right:150px;padding-left: 35px;\">Order Confirmation </span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    <span style=\"font-weight: bold;width:400px;\"> Your Confirmation number is {{var order.increment_id}} </span></td>
</tr>

$\"In$

How to fix this?

回答1:

Unfortunately, when it comes to EDMs (Electronic Direct Mail), Outlook is your worst enemy. Some versions don't respect padding when a cell's content dictates the cell dimensions.

The approach that'll give you the most consistent result across mail clients is to use empty table cells as padding (I know, the horror), but remember to fill those tables with a blank image of the desired dimensions because, you guessed it, some versions of Outlook don't respect height/width declarations of empty cells.

Aren't EDMs fun? (No. They are not.)

I changed to following and it worked for me

<tr>
    <td bgcolor="#7d9aaa" style="color: #fff; font-size:15px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 12px 2px 12px 0px; ">                              
        <table style="width:620px; border:0; text-align:center;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">               
            <td style="font-weight: bold;padding-right:160px;color: #fff">Order Confirmation </td>                    
            <td style="font-weight: bold;width:260px;color: #fff">Your Confirmation number is {{var order.increment_id}} </td>              
        </table>                    
    </td>
</tr>

Update based on Bsalex request what has actually changed. I replaced span tag

<span style="font-weight: bold;padding-right:150px;padding-left: 35px;">Order Confirmation </span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<span style="font-weight: bold;width:400px;"> Your Confirmation number is {{var order.increment_id}} </span>

with table and td tags as following

   <table style="width:620px; border:0; text-align:center;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> 
      <td style="font-weight: bold;padding-right:160px;color: #fff">Order Confirmation </td>
      <td style="font-weight: bold;width:260px;color: #fff">Your Confirmation number is {{var order.increment_id}} </td>
   </table>

To create HTML in email template that is emailer/newsletter, padding/margin is not supporting on email clients. You can take 1x1 size of blank gif image and use it.

<tr>
  <td align="left" valign="top" style="background-color:#7d9aaa;">
    <table width="640" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
      <tr>
        <td align="left" valign="top" colspan="5"><img style="display:block;" src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="10"  alt="" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="left" valign="top"><img style="display:block;" src="images/spacer.gif" width="20" height="1"  alt="" /></td>
        <td align="right" valign="top"><font face="arial" color="#ffffff" style="font-size:14px;"><a href="#" style="color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; cursor:pointer;" target="_blank">Order Confirmation</a></font></td>
        <td align="left" valign="top" width="200"><img style="display:block;" src="images/spacer.gif" width="200" height="1"  alt="" /></td>
        <td align="left" valign="top"><font face="arial" color="#ffffff" style="font-size:14px;">Your Confirmation Number is 260556</font></td>
        <td align="left" valign="top"><img style="display:block;" src="images/spacer.gif" width="20" height="1"  alt="" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="left" valign="top" colspan="5"><img style="display:block;" src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="10"  alt="" /></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
</td>
</tr>

Just use
<Table cellpadding="10" ..> ... </Table>
Don't use px.Works in MS-Outlook.

回答5:

Padding will not work in Outlook. Instead of adding blank Image, you can simply use multiple spaces(& nbsp;) before elements/texts for padding left For padding top or bottom, you can add a div containing just spaces(& nbsp;) alone. This will work!!!

回答6:

Do this instead:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
      <td bgcolor="#7d9aaa" width="40%" style="color: #ffffff; font-size:15px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; padding:12px;">
        Order Confirmation
      </td>
      <td bgcolor="#7d9aaa" align="right" width="60%" style="color: #ffffff; font-size:15px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; padding:12px;">
        Your Confirmation number is {{var order.increment_id}}
      </td>
  </tr>
</table>

It is better to use two cells and align the content, than using large padding and  's.

I had the same problem and ended up actually using border instead of padding.

回答8:

After doing many tests in Litmus, i could not find a way to have perfect rendering in all emails readers, but here is the better solution i found :

<table  width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color:#333;color:#fff;border-radius:3px;border-spacing:0;" >
    <tr>
        <td style="width:12px;" >&nbsp;</td>
        <td valign="middle" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;" >
            <span style="color:#fff;" ><strong>Your text here</strong> and here</span></a>
        </td>
        <td style="width:12px;" >&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
</table>

In this piece of code, i aimed to emulate padding : 6px 12px;

There are 2 "12px table columns" that handles the right and left padding.

And I'm using "padding: 6px 0;" on my td content, to manage top and bottom padding : Outlook 2010 and 2013 will ignore this and will use their own padding.

The text won't be perfectly aligned in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 (slightly too far from top) but it works with all other email readers i tried : Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook 2011 (yes..), Hotmail, Yahoo and many more.

AVOID PADDINGS AND MARGINS IN NEWSLETTERS, A GOOD AMOUNT OF EMAIL CLIENTS WILL IGNORE THEM. You can use empty rows and cells as was suggested in other answers (with the precaution to set the line-height of the empty rows td's to 1, if not, the line height of the td may be higher than the simulated padding you want).

I have particulary found another solution: using borders the same color of the background. I've tested this solution in gmail (and gmail for business), yahoo mail, outlook web, outlook desktop, thunderbird, apple mail and lot more. It works correctly and it's a lot less html than empty rows and td's.

Example:


<!-- With paddings: WON'T WORK IN ALL EMAIL CLIENTS! -->
<table>
    <tr>
        <!--use paddings-->
        <td style="padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px">
            <!--Content goes here-->
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>


<!-- Same result with borders. Same color of your background -->
<table>
    <tr>
        <!--use border same color of bg-->
        <td style="border: solid 10px #ffffff">
           <!--Content goes here-->
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>


<!-- Same result using empty td/tr. (A lot more html than borders, get messy on large emails) -->
<table>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="3" height="10" style="height: 10px; line-height: 1px">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td width="10" style="width: 10px; line-height: 1px">&nbsp;</td>
        <td>
           <!--Content goes here-->
        </td>
        <td width="10" style="width: 10px; line-height: 1px">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td colspan="3" height="10" style="height: 10px; line-height: 1px">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
</table>

have you tried display:inline-block;?

回答11:

My solution is to use an empty / whichever is needed with a transparent spacer gif since padding isnt 100% supported.

<td width="2" style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px;" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">                                                                                                       
   <img width="2" border="0" src="spacer50.gif" style="display:block; 
   padding:0; margin:0; border:none;" />                                                                                                
</td>

回答12:

All styling including padding have to be added to a td not a span.

Another solution put the text into <p>text</p> and define margins, and that should give the required padding.

For example:

<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10; margin-right: 12; margin-left: 12;">text</p>

回答13:

In some cases we set border instead of padding and it works in outlook.

border: solid #efeeee;border-width: 20px 40px;
