I'm developing an html template for Exact Target, the email marketing system.
I'm trying to adjust one of the content areas so the entire table has a grey background: #E8E8E8
Here is the code. I've tried adding background color="#E8E8E8" or bgcolor="#E8E8E8" but could only get it to render the background color within the row, not across the entire table. Can someone help a newbie figure out the appropriate code and placement?
------------------
<table width="100%" style="border: 1px solid #cccccc;font: 16px arial;font-weight: normal;color: #333333;padding: 14px;margin: 0;margin-top: 12px;line-height: 20px;text-align: left;">
<tr><td>
<!-- MAKE YOUR EDITS BELOW -->
<h2 style="font: 18px georgia;font-weight: bold;margin: 0;padding: 0;margin-bottom: 8px;">
Custom Header
</h2>
This is a basic paragraph. If you want to include a link, <a href="http://AddCustomURL.com" style="color: #00a2dc; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; text-decoration: none;">be sure to copy and paste the link style from this link</a> to maintain the custom link color. Here is more paragraph text to give you an idea of the way this will look.
