I'm having trouble with email formatting for emails received in the GoogleMail web client.
Space is added after the images in the table making gaps in my content, exactly the same as this question - Gmail displaying gaps between images.
Adding the inline style 'display: block;' fixes the issue in the MailChimp preview.
However the inline image styles are being removed at some point between me previewing them in the MailChimp and receiving them in my inbox, re-adding the inline CSS manually fixes it again so that's definitely the issue.
Style in MailChimp Template
<img src="" id="headerImage campaign-icon" mc:label="header_image" mc:edit="header_image" mc:allowdesigner="" mc:allowtext="" style=" width: 700px; display: block;">
Style when read by GoogleMail
<img src="IMAGE_PATH" alt="" border="0" width="700" height="665">
Is there a reason this is happening? Is it on MailChimps or GoogleMails side?
It looks like Gmail is stripping out the style attribute, because it doesn't like something.
A few things to try:
1) Remove the extra space at the beginning of your style declaration:
<img src="" id="headerImage campaign-icon" mc:label="header_image"
mc:edit="header_image" mc:allowdesigner="" mc:allowtext=""
style="width:700px; display:block;">
2) Specify !important:
(reference:http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/3652/gmail-strips-out-inline-css)
<img src="" id="headerImage campaign-icon" mc:label="header_image"
mc:edit="header_image" mc:allowdesigner="" mc:allowtext=""
style="width:700px; display:block !important;">
3) Try adding line-height to the containing td element:
(reference: http://www.webdevdoor.com/html-css/html-email-development-tips/)
<td style="line-height:0px;">
<img src="" id="headerImage campaign-icon" mc:label="header_image"
mc:edit="header_image" mc:allowdesigner="" mc:allowtext=""
style="width:700px; display:block;"></td>
One more to try
4) Add width="700" attribute (maybe toss height in as well) to img tag and only specify display:block; in style attribute:
<img src="" id="headerImage campaign-icon" mc:label="header_image"
mc:edit="header_image" mc:allowdesigner="" mc:allowtext=""
width="700" height="665" style="display:block;">
Here's another one
5) The HTML5 doctype can cause rendering problems. Try using this instead:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Last one...
6) Just noticed that you set mc:allowdesigner="" and mc:allowtext="", what happens if you remove the ="" from those two?
<img src="" id="headerImage campaign-icon" mc:label="header_image"
mc:edit="header_image" mc:allowdesigner mc:allowtext
style="width:700px; display:block;">
Hopefully, one of these will work for you.
For me it's help (adding <p style="margin: 0;font-size: 0;line-height: 0;"> in <td>):
<td><p style="margin: 0;font-size: 0;line-height: 0;"><img src="{IMG_PATH}/w_bottom.jpg"
alt="" height="8" width="653"/></p></td>
It's definitely not the case that Gmail will always strip out style="display: block" on images. As #Fletch states, the simplest thing would be to do this:
<img src="" id="headerImage width="700" style="display: block;">
...rather than setting the width using an inline style. Outlook 07/10 won't obey widths set using style anyway in some instances, so its safest to set it that way. Or just leave out width altogether (necessary for a responsive email design).
You'll need to put your complete code somewhere, as it must be something else within the HTML causing problems, as the above code works perfectly.
I was struggling with this for a long while, added this to the section.
table{
border:0px;
border-spacing:0px;
border-collapse:collapse;
}
td{
line-height:0px;
}
tr{
display:block;
}
I hope this solves your issue, as this was quite the frustrating problem for me.
Gmail automatically adds a paragraph tag to the table data tags. Adding a paragraph tag with styles worked for me.
<td><p style="margin: 0;font-size: 0;line-height: 0;"><img /></p><td>

I'm creating a table containing images and want to refer to the src of the image as a base64 data-URI from a style sheet. This style sheet would contain muliple images encoded. I could do this within the body of the page or in the head, but that makes the document difficult to edit. How should I be coding the image tag in the body and table to refer from the external CSS?
I've tried using the image as a base64 data-URI within the body.
<img alt="B" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KG..." align="bottom" border="0" height="186" width="120">
That works. Also within the head as a style.
I've looked around stackoverflow and other places and found similar code but not with a external CSS file.
<!-- within the page body -->
<td style="vertical-align: top; height: 186px; width: 120px;">
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"><img src="C" align="bottom" border="0" height="186" width="120"> </div>
</div>
</td>
Here is a JSfiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/mL5fkung/
As you can see in the 1st row the images are shown in the traditional way.
In the 2nd row I've use the base64 image code in the img code.
The 3rd row shows the desired code that isn't working.
Your solution will work, if you add the class C to each <img>:
<img src="" align="bottom" border="0" height="186" width="120" class="C" />

I want to make the grey images center aligned. Please guide me how can I do this.
Here is what I have tried:
<div id="responsivearea" style="margin-top: 50px;">
<div class="img-center">
<img style="clear:none;" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-2707" src="http://www.inspuratesystems.com/nayajeevan/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/visa-logo2-150x150.jpg" alt="visa logo" width="150" height="150" />
<img style="clear:none;" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-2705" src="http://www.inspuratesystems.com/nayajeevan/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/nethope-logo1-150x150.jpg" alt="nethope logo" width="150" height="150" />
<img style="clear:none;" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-2704" src="http://www.inspuratesystems.com/nayajeevan/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ILO-logo1-150x150.jpg" alt="ILO logo" width="150" height="150" />
</div>
</div>
Here is the site.
Simply use:
.img-center{text-align: center;}
As suggested already, magin auto... using your existing img-center class
.img-center{
margin:auto;
vertical-align:middle; /* If you mean vertically aligned */
}
text-align can work but is a little funny in cross browser support...
margin auto generally does the job and should work
otherwise just wrap them with center tags, while people may frown upon using center tags..THEY WORK CROSS BROWSER!! so they will NOT fail!
Otherwise, if you mean the footer images/logos on the site.. They are in a P tag without any class.. You can simply apply a text-align:center: to that p tag.
Set margin to auto. The browser will align the images to center for you
img {
margin: auto;
}
**Note all <> tags have been removed to allow code to display
**
i have been playing around with this for hours and am not really getting it to work without using a workaround at the design end of things (ie Corel draw)
*Before i go any further,
First, website URL is AdventistAviation.com.au
Second, can i just say...i know this can be done with style sheets...however, in this case...i am not doing it that way!!! (so please dont bother pestering me with that option unless there is absolutely no way the method below can work)
Third, a workaround to my problem below, is to create the image already centered in its own background (the same size as the logo next to it) then import it (this is a bad idea because if in the future someone changes the main header background to a different color other than white...its gonna look awful!)
First i add the image (this works no problem)
However because the Logo on the left in the avada theme is approx 250×250 square, Tagline text is no longer centered in the header (as you can imagine comparing above with logo below)
I am using the themeforest AVADA Theme. In theme options>Banner Code For Header #4…
I would like to add the following inline css styling in an iframe for example, to vertically centre the Tagline (ie bring it down level with the middle of the logo)
style="vertical-align: middle;"
<iframe src="http://image_URL.png" style=”vertical:align: middle;” width="200" height="200"></iframe>
This doesnt seem to do anything different to the method in 1.
<div style="vertical-align: middle;"><iframe src="http://image_URL.png" width="200" height="200"></iframe></div>
I was hoping that if i place the iframe inside a tag containing the styling i might achieve my goal...alas it still doesnt work.
I have got to the point where my head is so full of nonworking methods i cant progress further.
Can someone help with this one?
p.s i have tried to find some inline css styling tutorials (specifically about vertical alignment styling) for the tag in html 5 without any luck.
damn w3c for depreciating the html vertical alignment method in html5!

A simple solution is to change this code:
<div id="header-banner">
<div style="vertical-align: middle;" height="170" width="500">
<img src="https://googledrive.com/host/...etc..." width="400" height="200">
</div>
</div>
To just this:
<div id="header-banner" style="margin-top: 70px;">
<img src="https://googledrive.com/host/...." width="400" height="200">
</div>
There's no good reason to use inline styles for this, but anyhow, I've edited a chunk of your HTML with inline styles that will get what I think you want:
<div class="avada-row" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; display: table; width: 100%">
<div class="logo" style="display: table-cell;margin-right:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-bottom:0px; vertical-align: middle;">
<a href="http://adventistaviation.com.au">
<img src="http://adventistaviation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/AAA-QLD-LogoType5_outlinedSQC1-e1398740621697.jpg" alt="Adventist Aviation Association" class="normal_logo">
</a>
</div>
<div id="header-banner" style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; float: none; text-align: right;">
<div style="/* vertical-align: middle; */" height="170" width="500">
<img src="https://googledrive.com/host/0B7IkcUtUKfX8SkpLS1NuTlR4cDA/AAA_Tagline.png" width="400" height="200">
</div>

I have been struggling to find a simple solution to the following problem using the CSS inline styles due to being on a free wordpress.com blog.
a table
inside each table cell there is an three parts
a hyperlink to enclose the two objects below
image - align vertical and horizontally centred in the table cell
text at the bottom of the table cell
<psedo markup>
<td>
<a href="#">
<img style="vertical-align:middle" src="" />
<p style="vertical-align:bottom">Text at the bottom</p>
</a>
but just cant seem to get a consistent result, am I better using <div style="display:block"> instead?
If you can use html5, use a figure:
<td>
<a href="http://gravatar.com">
<figure style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5a25eba05dc8ac4384384c7a220958a6?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1"
alt="" width="32" height="32">
<figcaption>gravatar glyph</figcaption>
</figure>
</a>
</td>
The figure element was added precisely for situations like this, though the needed style here is a bit quirky.
HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">
<a>link</a>
<img style="display: block; margin: 0 auto;" src="http://placebacn.com/400/300">
<p>Bacon... Bacon... Bacon...</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Even if you can't add a CSS file you may be able to add a <style> block before the HTML which would be better than inline styles:
<style>
td {
text-align: center;
}
td img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>

Please don't use tables for layout (i.e. non-tabular data - not sure if this is or not), there are other ways to have a similar layout without the bloated markup and accessibility problems. display: flex is often a good option as it now has support in a lot of today's browsers. Sometimes even using other markup with CSS display: table and display: table-cell is another option.
This might be a good read on vertical-align: http://css-tricks.com/what-is-vertical-align/
I would suggest to separate img and text from the same alignment-structure. I think you can manage to center the img but the text ruins this alignment. The trick that I use is position>relative to the parent and position>absolute to the child. Here you go:
<td>
<a href="#" style='**position:relative;**'>
<img style="vertical-align:middle" src="" />
<p style="**position:absolute; bottom:0;**">Text at the bottom</p>
</a>
</td>
By doing this p is not in the same alignment structure anymore.
I hope this solves your problem.
I am doing this on my own personal browser, viewing a pbulic website. as such, I can't change their html. I am using chrome, and stylebot to apply the CSS style. I need a CSS solution to the following:
<tr class="bg_small_yellow">
<td class="row1" valign="middle" align="center" width="20">
<img class="icon_folder" src="/eaforum/images/transp.gif" alt="">
</td>
<td class="row1" width="100%">
<span class="topictitle">
<a href="/eaforum/posts/list/9578017.page" id="topic_link_9578017" title="SimCity Traffic">
SimCity Traffic
</a>
</span>
</td>
How can I apply color: gray; to the <a> link if and only if the <img> is class .icon_folder ?
Here is a jsFiddle page to play with. I want a solution only in the CSS pane. http://jsfiddle.net/hZr9b/
I am looking for something like this, but that actually works:
(td > img.icon_folder) + td a:link { color: gray; }
If the markup cannot be changed, then it is not possible using only CSS because the image and anchor aren't siblings, and there is no parent selector in CSS2/3 to help navigate between these two elements.
If they were siblings, it could be as easy as this:
HTML:
<img class="icon_folder" src="/eaforum/images/transp.gif" alt="">
SimCity Traffic
CSS:
img[class="icon_folder"] + a {
color:grey;
}
But as you mentioned you cannot change the markup in this instance, unfortunately you'll have to use JavaScript.
