Question on Style Sheets

[amerar]

Hi All,

I posted a question about style sheets, and why certain email clients
were ignoring them. Someone suggested placing them inline. I did
this and get better results, but not what I wanted.

The page still appears properly, and it shows in Netscape Messenger
just fine, but on Hotmail and Yahoo, each <DIV> tag does not appear
where it is supposed to appear.

The page is located here:

I've copied the style tags here also. If anyone can help, I'd really
appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Arthur

Generally email supports only a primitive subset of HTML with some of
their own extensions. See

I'm surprised you got any CSS stuff to work at all. It makes not too
much sense to use that unless you know what email program the receiver
uses.
