Addressing padding inconsistencies in mobile email HTML templates

I am new to the world of HTML and CSS. I apologize if this question seems trivial, as I have searched extensively online with no success!

You can access my email HTML template here. The issue I am facing is:

The top and bottom padding around the background image in the email appears too large on mobile devices (desktop view is fine). I am struggling to reduce it as all padding in the HTML code seems to be either 0 or 10, leaving me unsure of what might be causing the problem.

                            <div id="iwvdj" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit; margin: 20px; padding: 10px;">

Answer №1

The code seems to have a lot of inline CSS which can make it difficult to manage. One issue is that the image doesn't have a set height provided, so setting the line-height might be a workaround. I adjusted the line-height from 484px to 300px in this case.

<div id="ijhss" style="box-sizing: border-box; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; line-height: 300px; font-size: 1px;">&nbsp; </div>

<style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit; background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image: url(https://i1.createsend1.com/ei/t/27/B05/4C2/070244/csfinal/bf6ce21fcf8cefe14ab96f8512fe9c85.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: contain; background-position: center center; height: 300px;">

To resolve the issue with the image, adjust the margins of iwvdj instead of focusing on the padding of the image itself.

Modify the code from:

<div id="iwvdj" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit; margin: 20px; padding: 0px;">

To:

<div id="iwvdj" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit; margin: 0 0 20px 20px; padding: 0px;">

By making this adjustment, the top and bottom margins will be set to 0.
