Jennifer, You may want to check out: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/archives/2007/04/a_guide_to_css_support_ in_emai_2.html
There is a handy charge you can download there, as well as good info as to what CSS is/is not supported in mail clients. As far as Dreamweaver, it is only a tool, it is not a web-browser, so you should only use it for "loose" visual styling. It's handling of CSS from MX --> MX04 --> 8 --> CS3 has improved by leaps and bounds. It does a very good job of writing CSS for you, but like any tool, it tends to write bloated code and use generic class names. Strictly speaking for valid (X)HTML, a STYLE element must be contained in the HEAD element. If a browser or mail client reads and handles the STYLE element below the BODY element, it's likely that the application is simply trying to handle coding that does not adhere to the (X)HTML DTD and XML Schema. ...Rob -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Big Moxy Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 8:40 AM To: Jennifer Knowles Cc: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Subject: Re: [css-d] Style tag AFTER body tag? Jennifer, Forget about Dreamweaver. It does a terrible job of supporting CSS formatting. It's best to use your local system for testing CSS formats.
