Working on changing over some of our text based email alerts to HTML.
HTML styles work find if I embed them directly in the <td> element of a table.
However, I cannot get anything to work if I try to define a style. Here's a simple example. Just trying to get a powder-blue background on my test alert. code follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {background-color: powderblue;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table style="border: 5px solid #FF7D7D; width: 1080px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">
<tr><th colspan="2" style="border-bottom: 3px solid #FF7D7D;padding-bottom: 20px;background-color: #FAFAD2">Low Disk Space Alert</th></tr>
<tr><td>Server Name:</td><td style="background-color: #FAFAD2; width: 25%;text-align: justify;padding: 3px">${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.Caption}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Full Volume Name</td><td>${FullName}</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
If I save the file and display in Edge it renders as expected:
However, when I add that code to the Message section of an Orion alert, the alert displays the 'text' of the style, but does not add the background, like this:
I'm using Outlook 2016 email client.
I can make the HTML work by including style information in-line, but it is labor-intensive. Any guidance on how I might be able to get style sheets working would be appreciated. Thanks.
