Outlook 2016 rendering gap in table


Small 1px gap appears below table containing content on the left. This only appears in Outlook 2016 (Windows).

Had tried adding border-collapse:collapse, margin:0 and padding:0 but to no avail. Anyone else experienced this or dealt with it?

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="600">
    <tr>
        <td align="center" valign="top">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" class="" style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt; background-color:#FFFFFF;">
                            <tr>
                                <td style="padding:0px 20px;">
                                    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" class="" style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt; background-color:#3498db; border-radius:10px;">
                                        <tr>

Solution

  • It actually wasn't a table issue, it was your TH. This is a known bug for outlook 2016. (https://mosaico.io/email-client-tricks/outlook-2016-weird-1px-horizontal-lines/)

    To solve it, any TH or TD that is causing this just needs to have 'overflow:hidden' in the inline style and it should make this line disappear.
