And I guess the scanner is stripping what it considers comments, and hence removes the VML (that's my current best guess anyway)

Yep - that is pretty much what I determined as well.
Of course, if they can't see the emails on their own domain, then they ain't happy :(.

@SanfordWhiteman and @Dave_Roberts ,
I'm at the point of believing it is to do with the clients various scanners. My email, and their's, sits on office365. I have connected up an email account on their domain to my desktop outlook. I can send the same email to myself on my domain, and myself on their domain and get totally different rendering in Outlook.
My Domain
Client's Domain
The red box was something I added to a mobile style (buried in a media query) to see when it was getting activated (so not added after the fact). It is mucking up the VML background (oh joy) and somehow choosing to use the mobile style (hence why the Find out more button is full width as well).
Truly odd!!
Cheers

Dave,
that doesn't (I don't think) explain why outlook desktop would be using what was inside a media query does it?

Morning all,
I have a situation where for a client, the emails they see in the Outlook desktop app are being impacted by a media query.
The media query is of this form:
<style type="text/css">
@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
/* Lots of responsive coolness in here */
}
</style>
Has anyone else come across anything similar. It is driving me batty!!!
Cheers
Jo

Dave, I've got it working - sort of. It works in my Outlook, but not the clients (not so great!).
in the clients Outlook, the background colour still shows instead of the image.
Any thoughts on what next?

@SanfordWhiteman ,
have you had any joy getting the upload button to appear somewhere in the middle of the form? (i.e. between a couple of fields).
I took the code that renders the upload button and threw it into a richtext element on the form to see if that would magically work. It did not 😞
Any brilliant ideas?

Good afternoon all.
I'm playing around with a template currently and getting and odd outcome. In preview it is fine, but when I send a sample I get this outcome.
The bottom half is how it should look. If I remove all the modules, and just leave the read online code I get a duplicate of read online one above the other. Has anyone seen this type of behaviour before?
Cheers
Jo

Grr.. CMS is injecting all that rubbish. Take out all the blank lines, and hey presto!!!! That then meant I could sort out the one remaining issue around validation (I hadn't swapped the field name), remove the test email code, and stuff actually worked!!!!! Now to try and back fill your amazing form prefill code that I use all over the place

@SanfordWhiteman , I am trying to get this going. I'm working on this page https://www.metlifecare.co.nz/mothers-day-messages So far it isn't file uploader. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I cannot see it (my JS is marginal at the best of times - and while I can see the intent of what is happening, I'm blowed if I can debug the issue 🙂 ) As an FYI - I stripped the CSS out from your codepen example to see if that is the issue, nope - not it. Thoughts?

Hi there. Is your designer meaning media queries? If so, then yes - you can set media queries to change classes at different resolutions. In the template you may see code that looks a bit like this <style type="text/css">
@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
A whole lotta CSS Stuff designed to trigger when a screen is 480px wide or less
}
</style>
<style type="text/css">
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
A whole lotta CSS Stuff designed to trigger when a screen is 600px wide or less
}
</style>
You can set more of these if you need (320px? That sounds like a digital potato or something) Cheers Jo

A fourth option (which might be an extension of item 3 in @SanfordWhiteman's response) is to export all the data (including Marketo IDs), do your merge analysis external to Marketo (in a nice DB for example), and come up with a list of 'master' and 'duplicate' records, and then fire this data at the Merge API (it is easy enough to write a data loader using something like Python (and the very usable libraries that are available for it), or the programming language of your choice. I just did something of this nature a few days back for a client, so can testify that is is comparative straightforward (but not without risk). Cheers

Hi all, I'm trying to get a background image to work in Outlook emails (grr - naughty Outlook!) Here is my code - it is pretty much a complete rip from https://backgrounds.cm/ <!-- START: Default Badged Full Width Image -->
<tr class="mktoModule" id="mkto-default-badged-header" mktoAddByDefault="false" mktoName="Default Badged Header">
<td background="https://dummyimage.com/600x300/AA4242/ffffff&text=Background+Image+600px+wide" bgcolor="#7bceeb" width="600" height="300" valign="top" >
<!--[if gte mso 9]>
<v:rect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" fill="true" stroke="false" style="width:600px;height:300px;">
<v:fill type="tile" src="https://dummyimage.com/600x300/AA4242/ffffff&text=Background+Image+600px+wide" color="#7bceeb" />
<v:textbox inset="0,0,0,0">
<![endif]-->
<div>
<span>some test text</span>
</div>
<!--[if gte mso 9]>
</v:textbox>
</v:rect>
<![endif]-->
</td>
</tr>
<!-- END: Default Full Width Image --> I am across this post in my searches, and have made sure everything is set as per the resolution. I'm still having no joy with background images showing up in Outlook. Any thoughts? Cheers Jo

In my simple examples, I hadn't layered in the nested tables. What you've shown is exactly what I'm building out. Cheers and thanks for the advice

Hi there. I've been doing some reading on html email design recently, and there are a few places (and a few examples I've seen) that say not to wrap each element of the email (or module in Marketo speak) in a table, but to wrap the whole email in a table, and just use Table Rows (<TR> and </TR>) to delineate each module. In attempting to do this, I've come across a bunch of problems with things formatting VERY oddly. I'm curious as to what other peoples experiences and approaches have been. in short, do you prefer (grossly simplified of course) <!-- My modules begins here -->
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- My modules ends here --> or <!-- My modules begins here -->
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- My modules ends here --> If the latter, do you have issues with TRs stacking next to each other instead of forming new rows? Cheers Jo

@SanfordWhiteman , That works just fine. I'd forgotten all about the hidden field type and was mucking around with rules to try and hide the master field which took me a while to resolve (doh!)

@SanfordWhiteman , so you are saying always hide the master field, but make the visible list dependent on its value? I hope so, because I'm about to give that a try.

All, Jo's next silly question. I have a form with a list box on it. I want to make values in the list box dependent on another field, but not a field the users can see (i.e. a value already set against the lead), that in turn controls the values in a subsequent listbox. Any thoughts on how best to handle this? Cheers Jo

Afternoon all. Is there an easy way (with a standard Marketo button) in an email to have dynamic text. You can set the module to dynamic, but the text still gets pulled from the non-dynamic variable. I'm presuming I'm missing something obvious! Cheers Jo

Sanford, Yep - there is that option. However, there are 28 variants. My dream is that I could have a module where the user says 'this story relates to this interest (1 of 28)' and then use velocity to include or exclude. e.g. Three copies of my story module in a Newletter email. If there were two stories with the interest A set, then a lead with an interest in A would see two stories. If there was a story with an interest of B set, then a lead with an interest of B would see one story. Obviously, if a lead had interests in A and B, then they'd see three stories. I guess I'll just have to create a LOT of begin and end tokens 🙂 Cheers, and (as always) thanks for the help. Jo

@SanfordWhiteman wrote: Unfortunately not, those vars can't be used in VTL. OK.. so imagine this.. I have three check boxes on the leads table... Loves_Blue, Loves_Red, Loves_Green. I want to be able to create an email that displays a story on blue for lovers of blue, a story on red for lovers of red etc. If someone has multiple checkboxes checked, then they see multiple stories. I don't marketers to have to be in the code, just ideally selecting the colour the story relates to. Thoughts on how best to achieve that?

Makes sense (and yes, I was already predicting problems with reserved characters). Next silly question - can module variables be referenced in Velocity. E.g., I set the a variable called 'colour' to 'BLUE' on the module, and then depending on whether a lead has a checkbox 'loves_blue' checked leave the module on display, otherwise comment it out?
