I am sending emails through a java program using velocity template.
When I open my email in Papercut, the render is looking good but when I open the same email with Outlook, I have a lot of unwanted line breaks.
I have modified the CSS in many ways like adding a specific width for table tag etc, I can see my modifications applied in Papercut but nothing in Outlook in terms of width.

<p><b>Webb, however, is 100 times more powerful than astronomy's godfather of space telescopes and can peer much deeper into space.
Hubble studies the universe predominantly at ultraviolet and optical, or visible, wavelengths, which is the same type of light we detect with our eyes.
Webb, on the other hand, is set up to specifically look in the infrared, which is invisible to our eyes but allows it to identify the glow from the most distant objects in the universe.
It works in much the same way night vision goggles use thermal imaging technology to capture infrared light.
Because the universe is expanding, just about all of the galaxies that we see from Earth are moving away from us. This means that to us, their light appears to have a longer wavelength, or a redshift.
For very distant objects, this red shift is so large that they can only be observed in the infrared spectrum, which is where Webb comes in, while Hubble focuses on ultraviolet light.
For this reason, the two will work in tandem for a while so that scientists can analyse the data provided by both to help advance our knowledge of the cosmos and how humans first came to be.
Webb began development in 1996 and was originally envisaged to launch in 2007, but a major redesign in 2005 put this back and a series of further delays led to it eventually making it to orbit at the end of last year.
THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE
The James Webb telescope has been described as a 'time machine' that could help unravel the secrets of our universe.
The telescope will be used to look back to the first galaxies born in the early universe more than 13.5 billion years ago, and observe the sources of stars, exoplanets, and even the moons and planets of our solar system.

On the other hand, If I put this text instead, I have no unwanted line break neither in Papercut nor in Outlook:
PapercutRender2
Outlook2
Do you have any idea of how I can get a correct render in Outlook ?
I found out the origin of the problem. I removed the "width: auto !important;" line from the .container class settings:
Before
.container {
display: block;
Margin: 0 auto !important;
/* makes it centered */
max-width: 580px;
padding: 10px;
width: auto !important;
width: 580px;
}
And after correction:
.container {
display: block;
Margin: 0 auto !important;
/* makes it centered */
max-width: 580px;
padding: 10px;
width: 580px;
}
Then it worked.
My CSS is working perfectly fine on Google Chrome, Mozilla, and Opera. I have also tried Internet Explorer but that was a bust - Not that it matters.
My biggest issue right now is getting my CSS to work correctly on mobile safari (and other smartphone browsers like android).
HTML:
.load-more {
background-color: #00aa00;
color: #ffffff;
display: block;
font-family: 'Numans', sans-serif;
font-weight: lighter;
height: 3em;
line-height: 3em;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 3em;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
transition: all .2s ease, background-color .01s ease, color .01s ease;
border-bottom: none;
}
.load-more.load-more--loading {
animation: rotate 1.5s linear infinite;
animation-delay: .2s;
background-color: transparent;
border: .3em solid #e1e1e1;
border-radius: 1.5em;
border-top-color: #00aa00;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 3em;
color: transparent;
padding: 0;
pointer-events: none;
width: 3em;
-webkit-animation: rotation 2s infinite linear;
}
#-webkit-keyframes rotation {
from {
-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
}
to {
-webkit-transform: rotate(359deg);
}
}
<form action="stats.php" method="GET">
<div class="group">
<input type="text" name="player" autocomplete="off"><span class="highlight"></span><span class="bar"></span>
<label>USERNAME</label>
</div>
<center>
<input type="submit" value="CHECK STATS" class="load-more">
</a>
</center>
</form>
The CSS (and a javascript file that I'm using) turn the button into a loader when you click on it, but on mobile browsers like safari the button just disappears when you click it with no loader.
Example: https://epicmc.us
There's some support in iOS 7 and 8 for transform but none for animation in iOS. You're going to have to use jQuery or something to get the effect to work in mobile safari. Caniuse.com tells us the support here for these attributes: http://caniuse.com/#search=transform
This CSS works perfectly on mobile safari...
.load-more {
background-color: #00aa00;
color: #ffffff;
display: block;
font-family: 'Numans', sans-serif;
font-weight: lighter;
height: 3em;
line-height: 3em;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 3em;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: none;
}
.load-more.load-more--loading {
background-color: transparent;
border: .3em solid #e1e1e1;
border-radius: 1.5em;
border-top-color: #00aa00;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 3em;
color: transparent;
padding: 0;
pointer-events: none;
width: 3em;
-webkit-animation: rotation 2s infinite linear;
}
#-webkit-keyframes rotation {
from {-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);}
to {-webkit-transform: rotate(359deg);}
}
I read many similar topics and I tried the suggestions but it seems I can't get this to work.
I am a self-learner, not a professional just building a website for my parents company and I am having a problem with my menu.
This is working fine in IE and Firefox (at least the versions I have) but Chrome and Safari don't like it. Initially in Chrome it looks good but if you zoom out it's breaking and in Safari for iPhone and iPad it's even worse as the last item on my list is never inline with the rest.
What I read is that I need to to have white-space:nowrap; in my code and I do but it's not helping, I was playing with the position attribute as well but none of the values work. Maybe one strange thing about my menu is that each li has an id tag but that's because I want a different image to hover over each item and that's the way I could thing of doing it. I would really appreciate some help, Thanks

html, body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#navbar {
width: 857px; /* updated width to center properly */
height: 57px;
margin: 0px auto;
/*padding-left:25px;*/

white-space:nowrap;

font-weight: bold;

border: none;
padding: 10px 26px 5px 26px; /* decreased padding very slightly */
}
Also try placing this meta tag in your header:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
Let me know if that solves the issue.
I have seen same kind of issues in stack overflow itself. Still asking it because I am facing the following issue.
I have a textbox which has a clear icon on the right side.
And in the textbox there is a smartfill (autofilling data).
Need this to work fine in desktop browser / iphone browser / or in any mobile browser. !

JsFiddle link for my issue is here : http://jsfiddle.net/smilyface/ze3sA/
Here is a related link: http://jsfiddle.net/PJZmv/801/
I have 3 elements. 1)input-text-box 2)clear-icon 3)smartfill-div. I am not able to relate these three accordingly! I tried jsfiddle-related-link(given above) still I am getting the same issue. Not able to align correctly.
I am using a very cool jquery drop down menu by Zach at One Mighty Roar. I cannot get this to link to let's say, a Facebook page in a new window. The js file is below:
$(document).ready(function(){
//Remove outline from links
$("a").click(function(){
$(this).blur();
});
//When mouse rolls over
$("li").mouseover(function(){
$(this).stop().animate({height:'150px'},{queue:false, duration:600, easing: 'easeOutBounce'})
});
//When mouse is removed
$("li").mouseout(function(){
$(this).stop().animate({height:'50px'},{queue:false, duration:600, easing: 'easeOutBounce'})
});
});
The html is below:
<div id="nav">
<ul class="tabNav">
<li><img src="../images/facebook.png" alt="Check out our Facebook page!" width="36" height="36" border="0" /></li>
<li>FTP Site</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li class="current">Projects</li>
</ul>
<div class="tabContainer">
<div class="tab"><p>Click here to be taken to our Facebook page.</p></div>
<div class="tab"><p>Click here to be taken to our ftp site to download your documents.</p></div>
<div class="tab">Contact Info</div>
<div class="tab">Services Info</div>
<div class="tab current">Projects Info</div>
</div>
The css:
/* MENU */
ul.tabNav {
list-style: none;

}
ul.tabNav li {
float: right;
margin: 0;
