Thanks Tom,
Yeah I get the idea, not ideal, but when needs must.

I have built a template for a html email cms, and I am having trouble
getting the editable regions to stretch vertically when text is entered, the
text just scrolls out of the top of the div.
I am guessing that it must be an old ie bug but can't figure out what the
problem is, could you please help.
Have you used this type of template before? Any emails with CSS we have done
that were successful had no doctype or head. The outer-most container was
the body tag. Also, all CSS had to be embedded in-line and repeated on
elements as some online services strip CSS out of the head if it's there.
For email, you gained the element control of CSS - which is far better than
old-school spacer gifs and font tags - but lost a lot of the efficiencies.
For example:
<body style="margin:0; padding:0; border:0; background-color:#fff;">
<center>
<snip...>
<table width="540" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"
style="border-top:1px solid #a19a9a; margin-top:35px;">
<tr>
<td>
<p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000000; font-size:11px; line-height:13px; padding-top:10px;
padding-left:10px;">If you would rather not receive email updates from us,
you can <a href="" style="color:#000000;">delete your name</a> from our
list.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000000; font-size:11px; line-height:13px; padding-left:10px;">If you
have any questions about our privacy policy, ... </p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</body>
You get the idea, I think. Not ideal as far as css goes, I know, but this
has been the most stable across desktop email apps and online email users
for us.
