HTML responsive email - table not adhering to max-width:100%












1















I am learning how to use media queries in coding responsive HTML emails and am struggling. I found a great email template at Really Good Emails (http://email.reallygoodemails.com/t/ViewEmail/i/5F9007F241DBA1802540EF23F30FEDED/5F41B898D731AECE2A1BF84ACBDD178B) and tried to code from scratch. I was able to get the desktop version, but when adding media queries, I couldn't get the middle section (.buttons) to adhere to a max-width of 100%.



What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure others are struggling with this too. I tried using the tables-only approach i read at Litmus.

  • Is the other code within your style tag (in the media query) rendering correctly? Anytime I've built an email template, all of my CSS had to be inline. Perhaps the CSS within the style tag isn't processing at all.

  • You should never start with desktop. You should start with Mobile then move on to tablet and than code for desktop

I am learning how to use media queries in coding responsive HTML emails and am struggling. I found a great email template at Really Good Emails (http://email.reallygoodemails.com/t/ViewEmail/i/5F9007F241DBA1802540EF23F30FEDED/5F41B898D731AECE2A1BF84ACBDD178B) and tried to code from scratch. I was able to get the desktop version, but when adding media queries, I couldn't get the middle section (.buttons) to adhere to a max-width of 100%.



What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure others are struggling with this too. I tried using the tables-only approach i read at Litmus.

  • Is the other code within your style tag (in the media query) rendering correctly? Anytime I've built an email template, all of my CSS had to be inline. Perhaps the CSS within the style tag isn't processing at all.

  • You should never start with desktop. You should start with Mobile then move on to tablet and than code for desktop

I am learning how to use media queries in coding responsive HTML emails and am struggling. I found a great email template at Really Good Emails (http://email.reallygoodemails.com/t/ViewEmail/i/5F9007F241DBA1802540EF23F30FEDED/5F41B898D731AECE2A1BF84ACBDD178B) and tried to code from scratch. I was able to get the desktop version, but when adding media queries, I couldn't get the middle section (.buttons) to adhere to a max-width of 100%.



What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure others are struggling with this too. I tried using the tables-only approach i read at Litmus.

  • Is the other code within your style tag (in the media query) rendering correctly? Anytime I've built an email template, all of my CSS had to be inline. Perhaps the CSS within the style tag isn't processing at all.

  • You should never start with desktop. You should start with Mobile then move on to tablet and than code for desktop

After taking a closer look, I think your problem may be that you have an embedded table within the href link tag, which has a margin applied to the inline CSS:



style="margin-top:25px; margin-left:15px; border-radius:5px;


The margin-left will keep it from filling 100% of the width.



BTW - I agree with the comment by J.vee that you should always develop your CSS with mobile first concept. However, being that you're using a pre-baked template, I'm guessing that this wasn't your choice.
