HTML Email Boilerplate →

HTML Email Boilerplate

Tables for layout are lame, but they really are the only way to reliably craft HTML emails (currently). View source on the HTML email I sent recently and you’ll see markup similar to that of Sean Powell’s boilerplate. (I prefer only one td as a single wrapper rather than individual cells for the layout — divs can usually handle that just fine.)

Update: Some of you have mentioned that the Authentic Jobs email I linked to doesn’t display nicely in Outlook 2007 or 2010 (screenshot). For the most part, I’m okay with those three items being stacked rather than in a row. However, if having your HTML email appear as similar as possible across all clients (which is still virtually impossible today), table cells are really the only way to go.
