HTML Newsletter help

Luna Arcana · October 18, 2007

Hi All

Newsletters are working well as far as sending to subscribed customers, the problem is I'm getting various "white-space" gaps in the emails depending on how I code the newsletter.

For example, simple html newsletter such as this has about 8-9 lines of blank space at the top of the email:

<html>

<head>

<title>Newsletter Test</title>

</head>

<body>

<tr>

<td colspan="3">Luna Arcana Test Newsletter in HTML</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

or just this:

<tr>

<td colspan="3">Luna Arcana Test Newsletter in HTML</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

I've also tried taking out the table tags, which aligns the body of the newsletter to the top, but also puts all three images on new lines essentially breaking the email apart the long way. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated, seems like the most confounding problems have the most "duh" solutions.

Hi Luna and Patto,

Not sure if this will help but try putting a zero margin on your page:

<html>

<head>

<title>Newsletter Test</title>

<!--

body {

margin-left: 0px;

margin-top: 0px;

margin-right: 0px;

margin-bottom: 0px;

}

-->

</style></head>

<body>

<tr>

<td colspan="3">Luna Arcana Test Newsletter in HTML</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

That will hopefully force it to the top for you - works in general HTML pages but I haven't tried it through the OScommerce newsletter process.

best of luck

Hi Luna and Patto,

<head>

<title>Newsletter Test</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<style type="text/css">



</style></head>

<body>

<table valign="top">

<tr>

<td colspan="3">Luna Arcana Test Newsletter in HTML</td>

</tr>

<tr>

Hi Donna, thank you for your post.

Unfortunately I have already tried that and it didn't work.

i was having the same problem. after looking at the source code in newsletter preview, it became apparent oscommerce was adding it's own html.

oscommerce adds the following line-break tag after every line that you have forced to the next line in your editor.

<br />

the solution is simply to copy+paste your html into the newsletter body section as per normal, then strip all the white space out between sections of code. there are tools available on the net that do this for you if you want to speed up the process.

hope this helps!
