I was wondering if it is possible to put a html button on an email page that would when clicked send you to a website: [noparse]www.mysite.com[/noparse].
I think the question is: a link with the appearance of a button, like a submit button in a html page.
The type=“button” of a html element is for use in a html-browser. But not all email visitors use “browser-mail” (as Google-mail), some use e-mail programs (like Outlook, Thunderbird). E-mail programs aren’t browsers, and have a bad html support.
Often the e-mail client doesn’t show images, so I think an image-button is not reliable.
Excellent point about email clients and images. Mine only initially blocks images for emails not in my whitelist, but there’s no accounting for others.
I like the CSS solution a lot. Do you know if the email client doesn’t support “border-radius” if it would show OK except without the “rounded corners”?
I don’t know for sure what e-mail clients are doing, but the css rule is that if something is not supported, it will be denied (just like an error).
So I should trust that the fall back is rectangle corners.
But a live check is never for nothing.
