Programming for Beginners

[JoeyShmoe]

thanks!

is there another way to say "display:block" that'll work better?

Why are you trying to set an image that is in its own table cell as display:block? IMHO there's no need for it (except if I'm missing something)

No clue (I copied an example email from some website). I just thought that maybe that was why it's not responsive in gmail or outlook.

Can you please try to change your img to this?

Code: [Select]

<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/xxxxxxx" style="width: 100%;height: auto"  alt="Happy Birthday!" />

For starters you have some text specific styling in there, it won't do anything in an image. I also removed the width="800" since that's being changed in the style. I also removed the class so that the style is inline (and removed the !important, you should try to never have to use that).

What this should hopefully do is have the image always be 100%. I don't think you can do a media query in email, so it's either always 100% or always 800px (with the former being more responsive)

I just tried that, but it's still not responsive! I also tried taking out the media queries altogether, but still no dice.
Any other ideas? Or should I just give up?

Does anyone know of a cloud-based headless browser that can be controlled programmatically?

How about visual basic (for excel), or the regular VB.

Not sure what excel it is we are talking about.

@AJK : Excel is wow, but a problem they have is that in version changes even simple formulas, the replace "," by ";" and so on.

Bump!

No one really addressed vba specifically in this thread.

What language is vba from- Like which language should I learn well if I want to really know how to write vba for excel?

I'm not interested in becoming a whole programmer, but I do use excel and basic macros a lot. - How can I really learn this besides using Google ?

[SuperFlyer]

VBA = visual basic. That's the language
