Does “display:none” prevent an image from loading?
I am following up on a recent discussion which you were able to help me on here:
https://litmus.com/community/discussions/7029-outlook-office-com-office-365-conditional-statement-for-hiding-content-not-working
The solution worked great for showing/hiding content in Outlook.com but now I am having another dilemna. The hidden ad is loading. Here is a screen capture of email while in desktop view showing the two ads I am testing with via Charles proxy: http://images.nejm.org/email/Charles_4_2_1_-_Session_1__.png
Ideally, I would like to load 1 ad or make 1 impression depending on the display: desktop vs. mobile.
Do you have experience with this and/or can provide a solution.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Unfortunately not.
Any image in an
<img>element will load all the time no matter what you do.A
background-imagecan be placed inside a media query (or other targeting CSS) so it only loads in some places. Although background images don't yet have 100% support.Another option is using
<picture>element, won't work everywhere yet but will only ever load one imageThanks Mark for following up. I had suspected much as well as had the thought about using a background-image but knowing the support did not pursue it. Good to know about the picture element but also won't go there due to sketchy support. Appreciate your help.
