Recently, I've been focused on developing a contact form for my portfolio website. Successfully sending HTML emails from the server to my email address has been a highlight. Since I mainly access my emails on my iPod Touch, I tailored the mail template to fit a screen size of 320px by 480px.
Despite setting the mail container element to width:100% along with all inner elements, there's an unexpected ~20px gap at the edge of the screen:
Below is the script and style-sheet as a point of reference:
PHP (snippet), request_form.php:
...
$email_subject = "Graphic Request - ".clean_string($first_name);
$email_message .= '<html><head><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0"/><link rel="stylesheet" href="http://blieque.comli.com/mail-styles.css" type="text/css"></head><body><table id="all" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';
$email_message .= '<tr><td id="head"><h1>New Request</h1></td></tr>';
$email_message .= '<tr><td class="info"><span id="param">Name:</span> '.clean_string($first_name).'</td></tr>';
$email_message .= '<tr><td class="info sub"><span id="param">Email Address:</span> '.clean_string($email_from).'</td></tr>';
$email_message .= '<tr><td class="info sub"><span id="param">Service:</span> '.clean_string($service).'</td></tr>';
$email_message .= '<tr><td class="info sub jstfy"><span id="param">Details:</span> '.clean_string($request).'</td></tr>';
$email_message .= '<tr><td id="foot"></td></tr></table></body></html>';
...
CSS, mail-styles.css:
body {
margin: 0 !important;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #242424 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
}
#all {
width: 110%;
}
#head {
background: #1393A1;
color: #61BDC7;
border-bottom: solid 0.5em #61BDC7;
width: 100%;
padding: 1em 0.5em;
height: 20px;
}
td.sub {
border-top: solid 0.25em #1393a1;
}
td.info {
padding: 0.35em 0.5em;
font-size: 12pt;
}
td.jstfy {
text-align: justify;
}
span#param {
color: #1393a1;
font-weight: bold;
}
td[class=info] {
text-transform: capitalize;
}
#foot {
background: #1393a1;
width: 100%;
height: 20px;
color: transparent;
border-top: solid 0.5em #61BDC7;
}
#line {
background: #1393a1;
width: 94%;
height: 0.25em;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
The email doesn't display well on online email viewers due to their default style-sheets. I'm on the lookout for any obvious solutions.
