Re: Responsive pages -- WEB400

Sorry Joe - I’m not the on the doing it so I don’t know. I don’t think AOL is used enough on our list that we’d worry that much about it to be honest.

Henrik’s resource https://litmus.com/blog/the-how-to-guide-to-responsive-email-design-infographic might give you an answer - looks pretty comprehensive.

Would like to know if you have tested this on other clients like AOL.
I've been trying to figure out how to code the multi part so that a text
version can be represented if the client says it only wants text only but
haven't been successful yet. Curious as to how you are handling that.

We have a design that is mostly working Joe. The two column layout is a
***nice to have*** and the only real problem we have seen is the width
in high-res screens.

Hardly any of the CSS used in responsive design will be relevant to an

formatted newsletter. There are so many different clients and if

you've

done the research I've done you'll realize that HTML is despised in

email

and only adopted because of such huge demand. There is not a

consistant

platform and you can forget HTML5 as well as CSS3 in your design. I'm
still seeing users that are getting AOL email (which is a whole

different

animal, I didn't hire someone because they used an aol email for an

address

and claimed to be a modern developer) and it formats it in text

stripping

out my html and really making a god awful looking page. Stick with

tables

and the most simple design you can use with email if you want any

chance of

it being accepted across the various clients. At least that has been

my

experience.

Jon,

It's probably not applicable to emails, however "HTML newsletter" to

me

implies online.

Now if you had said: HTML email newsletter I wouldn't have responded

with

Bootstrap :-)

I see no sign of that being applicable for HTML emails Richard. Am I
missing it?

subject: [WEB400] Responsive pages

We're using a responsive layout for an HTML newsletter and have two

questions for you HTML gurus.

1) Right now it looks fabulous on phones and tablets. But when

viewed

on

a high-res screen like my Mac (for example) it is way too wide unless

I

manually reduce the width of the email window. Is there a way to say

that

it should never be allowed to get wider than X?

2) Has anyone come across a two column responsive layout? I can?t

find

any good examples of that.
