Improper rendering of HTML email with foreign style sheet
Last modified: 2005-09-27 21:24:53 UTC
When receiving an email that is declared text/html and references an external style sheet with the <LINK> tag, the renderer does not properly incorporate the style sheet. The only reason I noticed this is because there's a blatant error that occurs in a formed email that a web service regularly sends me. The style sheet declares a style for the TH tag with color: #ffffff, yet in the email information enclosed in TH tags are rendered in black text. I'll try to attach a screen shot. Here's the example email: To: rainman@owlnet.rice.edu From: dirtech@sa.rice.edu Subject: New Post on Space and Facilities: Rice shuttles Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 22:26:33 GMT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 1938 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <BASE HREF="http://sa.rice.edu/"> <LINK REL="StyleSheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="http://sa.rice.edu/master.css"> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" > <TR><TD BGCOLOR="#000000"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="4" CELLPADDING="4" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <!-- Here's the offending TH tag --> <TH BGCOLOR="#000000">Rice shuttles<BR>posted November 11, 2001 by <A HREF="home/other-user.tcl?userid=2">Joshua Adam Ginsberg</A> </TH> <!-- </OFFENSE> --> </TR> <TR><TD BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <TABLE WIDTH="100%" CELLSPACING="5"> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="#EEEEEE"><BLOCKQUOTE>Hey y'all - <BR> <BR> This was brought up for a little bit in the SA meeting last week by the Space and Facilities committee chairs. They had a very informative meeting with the director of Rice Transportation the previous week. According to what they presented in the meeting, the problem that you're experiencing with the "clumping" of the shuttles occurs because there are three routes. When the graduate house shuttle and the Greenbriar building shuttle return to the inner loop route from their deviations, they rejoin the rotation not evenly spaced from the inner loop route shuttles. Because of the irregularity of these two routes that leave the inner loop route, they cannot time them in such a way that the shuttles will all remain evenly spaced. <BR> <BR> Hope this helps a little. I'll ask the Space and Facilities chairs to sign on to this board and put an answer in their own words too. <BR> <BR> -jag</BLOCKQUOTE> </TD></TR> </TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE> <P>You are receiving this from the Q&A Boards division on sa.rice.edu - The Rice University Student Association.
