Something weird is going on with Newsletter Builder v2.02.

In Settings #email_header#, I created a 1 cell table, and set /common/images/banner.gif as the background image.

When I send the email out, the image only does not show.

If, instead, I place the same table in the text of the Newsletter, it works.

Confused!

Hi Ragi,

I've done some testing using version 2.02 and as far as I can tell the html code is being sent correctly, but like you I did find that background images displaying varied between e-mail clients, although it didn't matter if the code was in the header or main content for me. What method are you using to display the background image, a style variable in the html table tag?

<table style="background-image: url('path/to/file');">
</table>

or a style style tag that contained the CSS code?

<style>
#table1{
background-image: url('path/to/file.jpg');
}
</style>
<table id="table1">
</table>

Thanks

Greg: since I am using the wysiwyg editor in Newsletter, it generates "style=background-image....." Etc.

The generated code is identical in both he header and body of the newsletter.
