I'm trying to make a centralize button in HTML e-mail. The tricky part here is my wish the button to be as wide as its content. The following code works perfect except in Outlook.
Here is the HTML:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td style="width:1%;white-space:nowrap">
<a href="#" style="text-decoration:none">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center" style="margin-top:16px;padding:8px 16px 8px 16px;background-color:#5091cd;border-radius:2px">
<a href="#" style="font-size:15px;letter-spacing:.04em;color:#ffffff;text-transform:uppercase;text-decoration:none;display:block;text-align:center;max-width:600px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis">
Go to platform
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</a>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The expected result is:
The actual visualization:
Increasing the width of the td tag will help you adjust the content in one line.
<style="width:20%;white-space:nowrap">
if you want to take the full width of the container, make td width auto.
currently, td tag width is deciding how the content text will wrap.

I want 4 gray blocks next to the fire truck image, but no matter how I place them in a table, they show up lower as if there is 200px of padding above them. I can't figure out why they keep moving.I want them top aligned, and adding a vertical align didn't help.
<table width="1000" border="0" height="322">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img src="/Images/Monroe_Fire_Department_Website_Banner_03.jpg"></td>
<td class="work"><img src="/Images/Banner-Nav-Background-Gray_03.jpg">
<img src="/Images/Banner-Nav-Background-Gray_03.jpg">
<img src="/Images/Banner-Nav-Background-Gray_03.jpg">
<img src="/Images/Banner-Nav-Background-Gray_03.jpg"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Feel free to take a look at the example/source code with the link below.
http://monroefiredepartment.businesscatalyst.com/test.html
The offending CSS looks like vertical-align: baseline being applied to all elements on the page. If you inspect the <td> element that contains the four grey blocks, and uncheck vertical-align: baseline, then the blocks shift upwards and align with the top of the fire truck image.
I think that you can safely remove this from the stylesheet, as it doesn't appear to affect any other elements on the page.
try this
<table width="1000" border="0" height="322">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img src="/Images/Monroe_Fire_Department_Website_Banner_03.jpg"></td>
<td valign="top" style="
float: left;
"><img src="/Images/Banner-Nav-Background-Gray_03.jpg">
<img src="/Images/Banner-Nav-Background-Gray_03.jpg">
<img src="/Images/Banner-Nav-Background-Gray_03.jpg">
<img src="/Images/Banner-Nav-Background-Gray_03.jpg"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I have
<div id="aa">
<img src="." height="17" alt="example1" title="">

<tbody><tr>
<th></th>

</tbody>

<img src="." height="17" alt="example2" title="">

</table>
<img src="." height="17" alt="example3" title="">

</div>
I only want to select the attributes "alt" values "example1, example2, example3" of images. How can I get them.
I presume you mean that you want to select all the images (in CSS) that contain example* in the alt attribute, so you can style them. (and that you don't mean that you actually want tot select the text set in the alt attribute)
You can use the attribute selector:
img[alt~="example"] {
border: 1px solid red;
}
To select some attribute use selector img[alt="example1"], img[alt="example2"], img[alt="example3"]
I have four table cells, two of which have one image each (the other two cells aren't related to my problem, AFAIK). I am trying to vertically align the smaller image at the top of its table cell. I have tried using vertical-align:top for the image within the table cell, and it isn't working. I am unsure as to why, as I cannot see anything that would cause the issue (using Firebug).

The demo site in question is here. http://www.josephruscitti.com/clients/jimmyclanton/store/ There are three rows of content all together on the table in this page, the row I'm having trouble in is the second row.
You need to apply the vertical align to the td like so:
<table class="store-table">
<tr>
<td class="merch-name" colspan="2"><a title="Everybody Needs Love" href="http://kunaki.com/Sales.asp?PID=PX00XUQBLL&PP=1" target="_blank">Everybody Needs Love</a></td>
<td class="merch-name" colspan="2"><a title="Jimmy Clanton In Concert" href="http://kunaki.com/Sales.asp?PID=PX00Z59GSX" target="_blank">Jimmy Clanton In Concert</a></td>
</tr>
<tr class="pics">
<td style="width: 25%; vertical-align:top;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-345" alt="everybody-needs-love" src="http://www.josephruscitti.com/clients/jimmyclanton/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/everybody-needs-love.jpg" /></td>
<td style="width: 25%;">$15.00</td>
<td style="width: 25%;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-312" alt="Jimmy Clanton In Concert" src="http://www.josephruscitti.com/clients/jimmyclanton/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/In-Concert-Cover-178x300.jpg" width="178" height="300" /></td>
<td style="width: 25%;">$20.00</td>
</tr>
</table>
By the way, applying css inline to every table cell is not a great method. You'd be better using separate CSS for some of this. For example:
.store-table td { width: 25%; }
Hotmail does not support margin in HTML emails. Is there an alternative?
I would suggest use tables and play with the width of columns. HTML emails are sometimes better with tables. Also, you can take a look at an email you have in your inbox that does what you want and inspect source code.
As this answer seems a little vague I would also like to point to a very complete answer which covers in more details html emails.
Note:
When it comes to email HTML, note that all best practices from web development goes out the window.
Here is an example using tables,
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" style="width:600px;margin:0 auto;background:#FFF;">
<tr>
<td colspan="5" style="padding:15px 0;">
<h1 style="color:#000;font-size:24px;padding:0 15px;margin:0;">Header</h1>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:15px;"> </td>
<td style="width:375px;">
Left Column Content
</td>
<td style="width:15px;"> </td>
<td style="width:180px;padding:0 0 0 0;">
Sidebar Content
</td>
<td style="width:15px;"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="5" style="padding:15px 0;">
<p style="color:#666;font-size:12px;padding:0 15px;margin:0;">Footer</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I was able to get away with transparent horizontal bars, using padding to modify the height. For example:
<hr style="border: transparent; padding: 1px;">
I'm having trouble getting this code to show up correctly in WebKit browsers(chrome/safari). It looks fine in IE6, IE7, and FireFox.

The problem is that WebKit makes the top row very small and the bottom row fill in the rest of the space instead of each row having an equal height.
Anyone have any ideas of how to make it show up how I want it to in WebKit based browsers?
I have a few recommendations for you but I can't answer your question completely because WebKit seems to render your source fine when I try it.
First, maybe you can change width="100%" to style="width:100%;" Perhaps combined with the other markup, it's putting the browser in quirks mode.
Second, make sure you have the correct doctype on and your code validates or AT LEAST comes close. The doctype I used when copying & pasting your code was XHTML Strict.
Otherwise, please post the source code of the whole page or just link to a live demo. Even a screenshot would help.
I could help more with a live example to test on but you could try adding this to your tr tags.
<tr style="height: 50%;">
Assuming you only need two rows this will bring them to equal height.
a proper example to ensure it is not showing correctly in webkit is the following:
<table width="200" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" width="15">
this is a very high rowspan 2 row that will thus be split over 2 rows, it prevents the second row from being formatted in height
</td>
<td>
this should be big instead
</td>
</tr>
<tr height="20">
<td height="20">
this row fails to size to 20 height on webkit
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
as you can see the left part is rendered fine, but the right part should be different, as in the top row should populate the left over space and the bottom row is set to 20 height (as you can see neither the tr height nor the td height is taken into consideration by webkit). this renders fine in all other browsers
EDIT:
after playing around and tinkering about my problem, I came to the below solution.
completely relying on jquery reading the height attribute property from the row you want to change:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#pipnorowspan").height(function(){
return $("#rcarowspan").height() - $("#piplowerrow").attr('height') + 2;
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table width="200" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid #000;" id="ertable">
<tbody>
<tr style="border:1px solid #000;">
<td rowspan="3" width="15" id="rcarowspan" style="border:1px solid #000;">
this is a very high rowspan 2 row that will thus be split over 2 rows, it prevents the second row from being formatted in height
</td>
<td id="pipnorowspan" style="border:1px solid #000;">
this should be big instead
</td>
</tr>
<tr height="20" id="piplowerrow" style="border:1px solid #000;">
<td height="20" style="border:1px solid #000;">
this row fails to size to 20 height on webkit
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
