    Hello everyone!

    I am having a problem with this layout:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjofw4r0dhaytey/layout.jpg

    As you can see, it has several containers within other containers and I cant seem to get the layout to work . I’ve only just started using tables so not a pro. I seem to get the tags confused and mixed up with the and tags and I’m getting some pretty weird bugs.

    Help would be very much appreciated!

    It might be better if you created something in CodePen for us to look at.

    Remember, HTML emails are basically tables. It’s a art most of us don’t bother with any more.

    Not sure you can get rounded corners to work though without images.

    At the moment, it looks like a ‘background’ table containing a nest of tables.

    OK., edited previous post, I got the link to work.

    Previous comments apply. Will this be a one-column layout all the way through or will there be multiple columns of content inside any of the tables?

    I’ll just post a picture of what it should look like when its done so that you can get a better idea.

    Wow….some of that isn’t going to work, I suspect…especially that image that’s bursting out of the row.

    Not saying it can’t be done…but it will take some work.

    Yes I am aware of the fact that images in emails tend to have poor support. But thats not the issue im having at the moment. I just want to be able to nest the tables within one large container and specify a diffrent background color for the relevant sections; as shown in the first link.

    Ill pop over some code on codepen….hopefully that’l get the ball rolling!
