Hi everyone,
I've got a newbie problem with a email template I'm trying to sort out...
Basically, I've created a graphic which sits at the top of the email. I've then created a css to stop any repeating, and to scroll with the email.
But, there seems to be a number of issues with it:
1/ When you ercieve the email in Lotus Notes, the graphic repeats all the way down the background of the email (very ugly - and makes the email illegible).
2/ When you reply, the 'fixed-scroll' no longer works?
Here's a copy of the code I'm using:
.........................................
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>My Email</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.cb {
background-attachment: scroll;
background-image: url(cbb1.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-variant: normal;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body leftmargin="38" topmargin="140" class="cb">
<p></p>
</body>
</html>
.......................................
Any help for a strugglin noob, would be greatly appreciated. I'm at the end of the line!
Cheers,
Bourne.

Does your HTML render and behave correctly (or at least, the way you expect) in a browser such as IE or Mozilla?
If so, the problem lies with the Lotus Notes renderer and not your HTML. If not, I'd suggest getting it working as you expect in the browser first, and the see if Notes also renders it as you wish.
hth,

Cheers Bear.
Yeah, it seems to work fine in IE, it's just Outlook and Notes it seems to have problems with. I was wondering whether anyone had found a work-around?
Cheers,
Bourne
