    <p>I am trying to create an HTML email that uses gradients that will render properly in all email clients. I initially tried a vertically repeating 1px by 13px image background using a TD property and CSS but Outlook said "no." Now I have gone to making 13 TD's with a width of 1px and background colors that make up the gradient, but outlook is rending them as about 3px wide with 1px borders.</p> <p>Here is the code. How can I please Outlook, or is there a way to please Outlook? </p> <pre><code>&lt;table width="730px" cellpadding="0px" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; font-family: Arial; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; margin-bottom:0;" bgcolor="#fbebd8"&gt; &lt;tr valign="top"&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#fff" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#fff" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#fdfcfa" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#fcf8f5" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#f7f2ee" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#f2e7e1" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#efded4" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#e9d3c5" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#dfc8b6" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#d9bba3" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#e4cab3" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#ddc7b0" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#ebd9c3" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#f9e7d1" width="1px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;!-- embedded half-left table --&gt; &lt;table width="348px" cellpadding="5px" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; font-family: Arial;"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="3" valign="top"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lorem Ipsum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td &gt; &lt;img width="4px" src="CaseNotes/greenbox.jpg" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt; &lt;img src="CaseNotes/archive/20120815-honors-college.jpg" alt="" height="81" width="100" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;!-- end half-left table --&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td bgcolor="#999999" &gt; &lt;img width="2px" src="CaseNotes/greybox.jpg" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;table width="348px" cellpadding="5px" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.2; font-family: Arial;" &gt; &lt;!-- half-right table --&gt; &lt;tr valign="top"&gt; &lt;td valign="top" colspan="3"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lorem Ipsum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
