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!

Most email browsers do not show background images in tables... welcome to the 1990's of html browsers!

Re: [northernpenguin] Newsletter Builder - Background Images
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?
or a style style tag that contained the CSS code?
Thanks
Greg

<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

Re: [greg] Newsletter Builder - Background Images
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.
