Additional cushioning incorporated into the table element for Outlook users on Windows devices

Here is a snippet of my HTML code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="wrapper"
  style="max-width: 550px; padding-top: 10px; width: 100% !important; " width="100%">
  <!--[if mso]><center><tr><td><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="550"><![endif]-->
  <tr>
    <td style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt ; ">
      <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
        <tr>
          <td style=" font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt; padding: 0 10px ; ">
            <table bgcolor="#90ee90" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 28px 0px; padding: 0;" width="100%">
              <tbody>
                <tr>
                  <td>
                    <img align="left" style="width: 30%; margin-right: 4%;" width="165" src="data:image/png;base64,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...

Here is the expected appearance: https://i.sstatic.net/qwBgO.png

Most email clients display it correctly, but in Outlook for Windows, it appears like this: https://i.sstatic.net/nBF3D.png

The issue seems to be related to additional padding around the image and the text margins not working as intended. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

Actually, I've found an alternative solution...

Instead of adjusting the padding on the <td>, try modifying the margin on the <table>. It seems to be effective.

Though I'm not fully certain why it's working just yet...

<!--[if mso]>
    <table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 30%;margin-right: 20px" width="165">
    <tr>
    <td>
    <![endif]-->
        <img align="left" style="width: 30%; margin-right: 4%;" width="165" src="https://dummyimage.com/165x165/000/fff&text=test" />
    <!--[if mso]>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
<![endif]-->

Answer №2

It seems that the layout in question is presenting a challenge for fixing. Outlook's attempt to 'float' the image over the div does not seem to be successful.

https://i.sstatic.net/1gHv2.png

This article raises another issue with this particular layout, indicating that links may not be clickable when positioned next to an image within a text block (as opposed to being in a separate table cell): --it would be wise to test this aspect as well.

In my opinion, it might be best to place the image in its own table cell. Divs have historically not been well supported for such tasks.

Answer №3

Seems like the issue stems from the additional ghost table surrounding the image.

By removing it, the problem is resolved, but then you'll need to introduce some spacing.

To do this, consider using an hspace="" attribute on the image to create a margin.

<p style="margin: 1em 0;">
    <img align="left" style="width: 30%; margin-right: 4%;" hspace="20" width="165" src="https://dummyimage.com/165x165/000/fff&text=test" />This is a test email. You can see that the text is cut off on the left when viewed on Outlook office 365(Windows) This is a test email. You can see that the text is cut off on the left when viewed on Outlook office 365(Windows) This is a test email. You can see that the text is cut off on the left when viewed on Outlook office 365(Windows) This is a test email. You can see that the text is cut off on the left when viewed on Outlook office 365(Windows) This is a test email. You can see that the text is cut off on the left when viewed on Outlook office 365(Windows)</p>

This method will add margin to both the left and right sides.

While not a complete fix, it's a good place to start.
