Left-Aligned Text Displays as Justified in OWA

Vic Dinovici posted 2015-04-22 13:23:51

Hi folks,
I center aligned an email in Yahoo using align center on the wrapper table - works well, it's center aligned but the text appears centered too so I added align left on all TDs with text. Now the table is center aligned in Yahoo and the text is left aligned in all email clients except OWA where it appears justified. I changed from align="left" on TD to text-align:left and it does the same.

Any thoughts?

Cheers, VD

Add 100% width to you wrapper table. Here is an example below.


<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
    <tr>
        <td align="center">

            <table width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
                <tr>
                    <td align="left" style="font-size:20px; line-height:26px;">
                        This is a title
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td align="left" style="font-size:20px; line-height:26px;">
                        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ligula mi, tincidunt ut mollis non, interdum a mi. Morbi laoreet scelerisque ligula eu scelerisque.
                    </td>
                </tr>               
            </table> 

        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Thanks Glenn but the text is still justified in OWA.

Mark Robbins also offered this solution but this doesn't work as well. Unless I code a crazy combination of nested tables I just cannot see how can I make this work. Mark's code:


<table width="100%" style="table-layout: fixed;">
   <tr>
      <td>
         <!-- NESTED TABLES AND EMAIL CONTENT -->
      </td>
   </tr>
</table>
