I have an issue where I'm trying to send out an email with a stretched image for the background and text overlaying the image. The markup I'm using works fine in a browser (IE, Firefox, Opera) but the image shows in-line when I create the view and open it with Outlook 2007.
Code:
Dim content As String = My.Settings.htmlContent
Dim view As AlternateView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(content, Nothing, "text/html")
Dim resource As New LinkedResource("C:\Temp\CustomerMailer\myImage.jpg", "image/jpeg")
resource.ContentId = "blast"
resource.TransferEncoding = Mime.TransferEncoding.Base64
view.LinkedResources.Add(resource)
My.Settings.htmlContent:
Quote:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Sample HtmlView Email</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {margin:0; padding:0; width:100%; height:100%; overflow:hidden;}
body {font-family:verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size:76%;}
#background{position:absolute; z-index:1; width:100%;}
#scroller {position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%; top:0; left:0; overflow:auto; z-index:2;}
#content {padding:10% 30% 10% 30%;}
p {line-height:1.8em; letter-spacing:0.1em; text-align:justify;}
</style>
</head>
<div>
<img id="background" src="cid:blast" alt="" title="" />
</div>
<div id="scroller">
<div id="content">
<p>Some email text</p>
<p>Some more text that is much longer. Some more text that is much longer. Some more text that is much longer.</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

If someone can point me in the right direction to stretch the background image and not inline it in an email it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
