There is no work around for Outlook 2007 as it doesn’t support background images. Update: Just stick with tables and ditch divs altogether. Set how the caption displays in the Content tab. The inner table holds the text with no background assigned. Inline - The basic image block, with optional captions below or overlaying the image. Then create a div element to contain the text but don’t assign a background to the element, or you could style the element as having background: transparent. Alternatively use a nested table. Create a table and use your image as the background. Land’s End uses a similar technique to the one I use. Other retailers who use this technique are REI Gearmail and Agent Provocateur (and lets face it they really can’t afford to lose their images!) I would feel confident sending out the swimsuit test newsletter but not the Sail boat newsletter above. Outlook 2007 is a popular email client, as long as you know the issues you can design accordingly. If the image does not render, no big deal. In the past I’ve used this technique in non-critical areas, mostly to enliven a footer. Newsletter in Outlook 2007 - compared to how it’s expected to look:Īlthough we can still read the text (just), this newsletter loses it’s impact. This is with images on, we can still view the logo just not the underlining image. But lets take another example, again from Land’s End. Define the content to be displayed when the animation is inactive. The icon is active and the text, Main HTML, will appear to the right of the toolbar. The text editor will open in standard mode.
Overlaying text on image html code#
Open the text editor via using the HTML Code property of the widget. Lets add the height to be 100, we want the text alignment to all to be centered, and then lets see what else. So we have align-items, lets see what else we need.
Overlaying text on image html how to#
In this case it’s not so bad as the newsletter still reads well. Step 2: Defining the content of the animations. If you went through the full HTML/CSS, flexbox, and CSS grid course then all of this should be a good review on how to get items to align vertically and horizontally. This is how the newsletter renders in Outlook 2007 ( click to view full-sized). This makes text readable regardless of background image and color.
Use backdrop-filter to apply a blur (14px) and brightness (80) effect. Neither of these email clients rendered the underlining image. Using HTML, CSS create display a text on top of an image using an overlay. The two main exceptions are Outlook 2007 and Lotus Notes. I have used this technique myself in Gmail and it’s worked perfectly, therefore it might be the div element Land’s End used. I ultimately used nested tables rather than a div having experimented with both. Here are my findings (Pretty good support, but one major hold out!) HTML Text overlay support in emailĪll but three email clients rendered the email with no problems. I ran the Land’s End email below through 17 different email clients to see how well HTML text renders over images.įor those interested I used Campaign Monitor’s testing tool.Ĭlick here, or on the picture below to view the full HTML test email. This month they have gone a step further, making a big effort to convert their text into HTML. Basically they are overlaying HTML text on top of images. More work for the designers, but it allows subscribers to read the email with images turned off. In April they added a call to action in the preview pane or preheader text as it’s been dubbed. In May they re-worked their navi bar to contain HTML links rather than images. img-wrap changing to picture.Land’s End have made many changes to their email template in the past few months. The styles remain the same, with selectors for. īecause the element actually wraps the (whose styles apply regardless of which is selected), we can do away with the more common but less semantic div.img-wrap above. This makes it an excellent choice for providing responsive images at different file and image sizes and aspect ratios, as well as maintaining backward compatibility as older browsers will simply ignore and.
The element also requires an element which acts as fallback both for cases where no matching is found by the browser and when the browser does not support. Each option is provided as a child element specifying the srcset which contains URLs to the resources and information to help the browser to determine which source to select. HTML’s element allows multiple representations of the same image to be offered to the browser, which it can select based on size, file type, or other preference.
