mso-hide:all on its own won't work. It is a vendor specific property of the Microsoft Word engine. In order for the hide on desktop/show on mobile situation to work you need additional properties. Here are some additional properties you need to use:

*[class="hide"] {
    max-height:0; /* Gmail*/
    display:none; /* Generic*/
    mso-hide:all; /* Outlook clients*/
    overflow:hidden; /* Generic */
    font-size:0; /* Be careful with this one, only use if absolutely required */
}

Then in a media query you'd want to override any of the values set to the opposite of hiding.

Also note with mso-hide:all, that if you are trying to hide content within the table cell that includes nested tables, you must apply this property to any and all nested tables within as well.

the problem with hidden content is that it will show no matter what in the 2 cases bellow, even when using the code you guys shared here.
1. email forwarding
2. Outlook Web App

I use this code to hide content in desktop:

<table class="mobshow" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="display: none; width:0; height:0; overflow:hidden; float:none; visibility:hidden; border:none">

and for the content in td p IMG etc:

 style="display: none; width:0; height:0; overflow:hidden; float:none; visibility:hidden; border:none;font-size:0; max-height:0; mso-hide: all"

to show content on mobile; the opposite css in a class so;

*[class].mobshow {
display: inline-block !important; width:auto !important; height:auto !important; overflow:visible !important; float:none !important; visibility:visible !important; border:none !important}

and note: if you would like to hide images on desktop -- make sure you remove the height and width on images so it will not create extra spaces.

Hi Lemuel, I used your code in an email to hide a bottom navigation in desktop view. Which worked great. However, i'm unable to get the navigation to expand width 100% on mobile (which appears at the bottom of the email). Do you know of a solution?

Note: i'm testing only 1 navigation button here.

Here is the code I'm working with currently:


<style type="text/css">
body {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    font-family: sans-serif;
    background-color: #E5E5E5;
}
 @media screen and (max-width: 564px) {
table[class="navBot"] {
    display:block !important;
    width:100% !important;
    height:auto !important;
    overflow:visible !important;
    float:none !important;
    visibility:visible !important;
    border:none !important
}
td[class="navBot"] {
    display:block !important;
    max-height:none !important;
    width:100% !important;
    height:auto !important;
    overflow:visible !important;
    float:none !important;
    visibility:visible !important;
    border:none !important;
}
td[class="navBotTD1"] {
    display:block !important;
    max-height:none !important;
    width:100% !important;
    height:auto !important;
    overflow:visible !important;
    float:none !important;
    visibility:visible !important;
    border:none !important;
    padding-top:0px !important;
    padding-bottom:20px !important;
    padding-left:20px !important;
    padding-right:20px !important;
}
td[class="navBotTD2"] {
    display:block !important;
    max-height:none !important;
    width:100% !important;
    height:auto !important;
    overflow:visible !important;
    float:none !important;
    visibility:visible !important;
    border:none !important;
}
a[class="navBot"] {
    font-size:16px !important;
    padding-top:16px !important;
    padding-bottom:16px !important;
    display:block !important;
    max-height:none !important;

If % in width does not work - try pixels.

or try this;

in css:

*[class].add_text:after{content:"NAV TITLE";}
*[class].add_text_one:after{content:"NAV#1";}
*[class].add_text_two:after{content:"NAV#2";}
*[class].add_text_three:after{content:"NAV#3";}

in the body;

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle" class="mobnavtitle"><span class="add_text"></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle" class="mobnav"><a href="#" style="text-decoration:none; color:#327FBD; display:block"><span class="add_text_one"></span></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle" class="mobnav"><a href="#" style="text-decoration:none; color:#327FBD; display:block"><span class="add_text_two"></span></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle" class="mobnav"><a href="#" style="text-decoration:none; color:#327FBD; display:block"><span class="add_text_three"></span></a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

if you forward the email you received to another user --- yes the hidden content render but you can have users use /click the "forward to a friend" feature by your esp. To-date I don't see other solution to permanently hide content. As we all know when an email forwarded, the email client remove some extra added code in inline or embedded styles.

Hello!

I am using the hybrid/fluid method where I am hiding a right border on mobile.

Of course my class="noborder" works on all the mobile clients except the GMAIL APP.

So here is my <td> tag:

 <td style="padding: 10px 10px; border-right:2px solid #cccccc;" class="noborder">

And here's what my class looks like:

 .noborder {
  border-style: none !important;
           }

Is there a way I could inline this noborder class so the Gmail app will hide the border?

I've tried ALL the css inline tools and it's not doing the trick.

Any help would be incredible!!!

Thanks

Hi Thomas,

Here's a clean code snippet for a Mobile Show:
http://tabletrtd.com/codelibrary/2015/10/11/mobile-show

The key is to wrap the show code around a full table. A TR will never fully hide.

To hide or show a <table> or <td> simply apply the following classes below to your <table> or <td>

class="mobileOn"

class="mobileOff"

And add the following CSS between your <style></style> tag in your <head>


@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
    *[class="mobileOff"] { width: 0px !important; display: none !important; }
    *[class*="mobileOn"] { display: block !important; max-height: none !important; }
}

I had to do something similar recently and found a solution online. Can't remember where I found this but it worked a treat for most clients when testing in Litmus. It didn't work that well in old Lotus.

I had the following setup:

Media Queries -----

*[class].mobile-hide { display:none !important; visibility: hidden !important;}
*[class].show {width:300px!important; height:auto!important;display:table!important;}
*[class].me {display:block!important; width:100%!important; max-height:inherit!important; overflow:visible!important;}
*[class].themoney {display: block!important; width:100% !important;height:auto !important;text-align:center!important; float:none!important;}

HTML ------

<!--[if !mso]><!-->
<table border="0" width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="container show" style="display: none; border-spacing: 0; border-collapse:collapse; mso-table-lspace:0pt; mso-table-rspace:0pt;">

    <tr style="width:0; overflow:hidden; float:left; display:none; max-height:0px; mso-hide:all;" class="me">
        <td style="border-collapse: collapse !important;" class="themoney">

            <!-- YOUR CONTENT HERE -->

        </td>
    </tr>

</table>
<!--<![endif]-->
