It all looks as it should when I preview in a browser. But then, after applying the Create Email Action it goes wrong. The “View this email in your browser” text at the very top of the page and the address and unsubscribe blurb at the very bottom freak out.
These two bit of text are styled as H4.smallprint and H4.smallprint2
It appears that this style / its styling is lost.
Could this be that these two items were created before applying the Action (other items may have been created when the Action was on)?

I’ve removed the style from the text. The text has [No Style] applied to it in the Styles Pallet (which means it has the “p” tag style applied to it?).
It now works fine. It also works fine if I apply my H3 style.
But as soon as I apply my “smallprint” style it reverts to my “p tag” style. (13px not 11px). But the very bottom line about unsubsribing does appear to be 11px (even though the same style is applied to the line above).
I’ve deleted the items that are problematic. Redrawn them, triple checked the “smallprint” style, removed the links within the text - all looks great within FW, but as soon as I preview the 11px small print appears as 13px.
And it only does this when the Create Email Action is applied to the page.
The Create Email Action is doing an awful lot to the styles in the resulting page. If you send through your document to our support team they can take a look and log a bug if necessary.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Mark,
The action does a lot of restructuring behind the scenes to get the
HTML that Freeway is optimizing for web use ready for email use.
From my notes here are some of the larger tasks the action is
undertaking;
Creates inline styles from those found in the document head
Pseudo styles (a:link, a:hover, etc) are be added to the document
body for clients that support them
All relative links are made absolute
Replaces Freeway’s PageDiv with a table
Page meta data is removed
XMLNS attribute from the HTML tag is removed
Freeway’s Internet Explorer styles are removed
All links open in new windows for the aid of web mail users
Removes references to class names and IDs (as long as they aren’t
being used by pseudo styles)
Removes all script tags from the page
Cleans up HTML output by removing empty lines
Floated images are set to align
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Tim.

I thought the Create Email Action just changed the links to images
so that the email app can find them… I hadn’t realised it changes
styles / code?
