Yahoo keeps inserting blue dotted links within our HTML emails on plain text within a <p> tag. It seems to be doing this to locations mostly.
I've tried to override this using inline styles like:
style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #808080; font-size: 8pt; text-decoration:none; outline: none; -moz-outline-style: none;"
I've done a bit of research on this and it seems like it may not be possible to remove them, but I'm just looking to confirm that.
Have you tried adding the following to the CSS before </head>:
.yshortcuts {border-bottom: none !important; color: #000000 !important}
There is a little bit more info on this over at Exact Target's blog.

When using html tables and css. I have used rowspan="2" to combine to rows together, but when i use background in the css, its not going right to the edges of the table.
Where am i going wrong? This is a really simple question i know.
Then the CSS is
#messages th{
background-color:#f0f0f0;
color: #FF9912;
font-size:14px;
font-weight:bold;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
border-right: solid 1px #666666;
}
#messages td{
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
}
I'm just guessing here, but aren't you coloring only the cells of the table, and not the spacing between the cells?
See this page:

If you are trying to set the background on a th element, Tom Haws is probably correct that there is some sort of cell margin or padding in effect. If you use firebug for Firefox or "inspect element" in chrome you can find out everything that is impacting th and turn them on and off. You could also use <thead> to surround the headers, and assign the background color to that instead of th
I can not figure out why the below css will not do what it appears to do, if anyone can explain why or help show what I am doing wrong, would greatly appreciate.

.button-blue a:link{
text-decoration: underline overline; color: red!;
background: #55a4f2!;
padding: 12px 24px!;

It doesn't do what you expect it to do because you have syntax errors. You appear to have used ! instead of !important. If you remove the exclamation marks it will look a little more like you expected it to.
Generally it is a bad idea to use !important and if you find yourself using it you probably need to refactor something. It would be a good idea to learn more about how CSS selector specificity works.
Basically it's because you're applying the style to the span/div and not the anchor and a span/div doesn't have an a.hover etc etc.
A quick test by removing the .blue-button from each of the a: style definitions shows it working more correctly.
Here's the fiddle I set up based on your sample.

Added a comment with a new link showing better behaviour without the exclamation marks.

This is a problem that I've been having for quite some time now. For some reason, the CSS rules for my links aren't working properly. As far as I can tell, when using Chrome's Inspect Element tools or FireBug, the links appear to be styled correctly, but are displayed improperly. I've added separate classes to make separate styles of links, and even tried separating a:visited, and this fixed the basic issue for each class, but the normal a tag still displays visited links the wrong color. the CSS for my links has been below.
a:link, a:hover, a:active
{
text-decoration: none;
color: #FF8C00;
background-color: transparent;
}
a:visited
{
text-decoration: none;
color: #FF8C00;
background-color: transparent !important;
}
a.search:link, a.search:visited, a.search:hover, a.search:active
{
font-family: helvetica-light;
font-size: 19px;
color: #999;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: transparent;
}
a.nav:link, a.nav:visited, a.nav:active, a.nav:hover
{
text-decoration: none;
color: #E3E3E3;
font-family: helvetica-light;
font-size: 20px;
background-color: transparent;
}
For some reason, even though a:link/etc have "color: #FF8C00" they show up as black or dark gray when visited. Active, link and hover all work normally. All HTML is written as stuff
Have you tried changing;
color: #999;
Into;
color: #999 !important;
This will tell the CSS parser to overwrite the #FF8C00 color to #999.
Changing the order of the CSS blocks could also give you the expected result.
Sometimes getting the look you want might require some trial and error. :)
A couple of things you could try

I finally found the solution to my own problem. I had initially copied elements of my CSS from an older project I was working on. Somehow, an "a:visted" declaration had ended up inline with an ID declaration and didn't break the CSS, but caused the links to not appear properly.
I'm trying to make a pseudo link class with the CSS3 text-shadow for both navigation and normal use of links.
The problem is that the state "a:hover" is overruling "a:visited" so when doing a mouseover on the link that previously has been visited, it outputs different that it should.
If the a:visited state isn't present in the CSS the color of the visited links will turn into the standard purple color, which I don't like it to.
Have a look at the site: www.sayhi.dk
The code looks like this:
HTML
<a class="lnk" href="http://www.twitter.com/sayhidk">#Sayhi.dk</a>
CSS
a.lnk:link {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Myriad Pro;
text-shadow:1px 1px #ffffff;
color:#7c7565;
text-decoration:none;
}
a.lnk:hover {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Myriad Pro;
text-shadow: 1px 1px #7c7565;
color:#ffffff;
}
a.lnk:visited {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Myriad Pro;
text-shadow:#ffffff 1px 1px 1px;
color:#7c7565;
text-decoration:none;
}
a.lnk:active {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Myriad Pro;
text-shadow:1px 1px #ffffff;
color:#7c7565;
text-decoration:none;
}
Hope that you guys can help me out.
In your example, specifying 'color' in the :visited style is sufficient.
Edit: the solution was to put a.lnk:visited before a.lnk:hover.
This may or may not help, but I never define a:link styles. I instead define an "a" style (no pseudo class), and styles get inherited nicely. Then I define :hover, :active, etc... And if I do not define one for a particular style, the catch-all "a" style gets applied.
It is also good practice to define a :hover as well as a :focus. They can be the same style if you like. The :focus is used in a limited way by the iOS and handicapped users who don't use a mouse but use a keyboard to navigate.
I'm trying to get a button which looks exactly the same whether it is enabled or disabled, but whenever I disable the button it seems to ignore any font styles I have set. This seems to be the case in IE but not other browsers.
So does anybody know the CSS to change a disabled button so that the font is not embossed?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
[Edit]
The CSS is as follows:
.Button
{
background-color:#332F27;
border-bottom-color:#1B1B1B;
border-top-color:#3B3B3B;
border-left-color:#3B3B3B;
border-right-color:#0C0C0C;
color:Black;
font-style:normal;
}
The button has the attribute Class="Button"
[/Edit]
If you are changing the disabled property of the button then you won't be able to get the feel and look of a normal button with CSS which will work in all browsers.
The easiest way is to add another button with no click event attached to it and set this button's display to inline and hide the original one.
If you still want to use CSS for this you can refer this link.
