Image Carousel in Gmail
So I have an image carousel that works for like 50% of email inboxes with a clean fallback for those that do not. I know that carousels used to be supported in gmail before the responsive support update last fall. Has anyone gotten them to work again within gmail?
You can do it with
:hoverbut it's not really a great user experience so we just fallback for now.Thanks for the reply Mark! Ya I just set up a static fallback instead for now.
Can we use :target on Gmail and do something like a gallery?
nope, only
:hoveris working at the moment in gmail and that's only on webmail not the app.Hey Michael,
we have a similar challenge with mostly gmail users. Since gmail stopped supporting checkboxes, they aren't really worth the effort anymore in my opinion.
Anyway, using hover means a lot of work with fallbacks etc, depending on how you want to position the elements and, but for less complex scenarios it works fine.
It would take a bit too long to explain how it works, so I'm going to link one of our template here for you to check out (if linking works) http://static.crm.gfsrv.net/mailings/gameforge/Dropzone.html
There's two carousels there, the gear switch, which is a bit more complex and the sceenshots, which is fairly straightforward.
