Q: Do columns work with Outlook 16.69.1 Mac OS? #297

Closed supace closed 1 year ago

supace commented 1 year ago

This is a question, not a bug.

Does the responsive template work with Outlook 16.69.1 on Mac OS? I was using my own template successfully until a recent Outlook Mac update that broke the columns — they will only display as single column. Looks fine everywhere else, and is responsive (stacked) on iOS. I'm looking for a new template to adapt, and so I'm wondering if you've encountered this issue with Cerebus' responsive template.

Thanks,

Susan

@supace Do you have a screenshot and the code to reproduce this (if it's not the original code in this repo)? I'm not aware of an update that would break columns, and Outlook on Mac generally has pretty good CSS support. I'll also try testing on my end.

@TedGoas, here's a screenshot.

For more info and a fix I haven't tried yet, see https://litmus.com/community/discussions/9043-2-col-rendering-broken-microsoft-outlook-for-mac-version-16-69-2 and https://litmus.com/community/discussions/8998-rendering-broken-on-outlook-for-mac-version-16-66.

Here's the code for the template used to make the email in the screenshot. (I use Pardot. Please excuse any less than elegant code. This is hacked version of a contractor's template with fixes for cross-platform and responsive issues I encountered as I used it.)

This is a short description of the event or opportunity. This should be at least a two or three sentences long so that there is enough text to balance the number of images in the email and not trigger spam filters. We should try to limit the number of highlighted items to one per email to avoid email looking like Land Lines, as well as difficulty procuring quality images. Please provide images for this space with minimum dimensions of 1060 x 530. Susan will resize and crop as needed.

Hmm. Apologies for the code not coming across correctly. I don't really use Github, obviously. I'll figure out how to send you the code and post it in a new comment.

@supace My mistake, I thought you were using Cerberus before.

I just confirmed that Cerberus columns do work in Outlook for Mac. Here's a screenshot of what cerberus-hybrid.html looks like: image
