Quick fix for Gmail image issue

I am sure like me most of you are facing problem in viewing your promotional newsletters and emailers in Gmail for some time. Even in yahoo mail you may experience the same problem.

Due to addition of margin around the images, the html gets distorted. Incidentally the solution to fix this issue is very simple. Just add ‘display: block;‘ in image’s inline style.

Example:
<img src="image_name.jpg" border="0: style="display: block;" />

For the safer side you can add ‘margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;‘ along with the display.

Example:
<img src="image_name.jpg" border="0" style="margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;  display: block;" />

I have done the cross browser testing and find working smoothly for me. Hope it will work for all.

Hey!! I have got the power!

Star india has recently launched its new video website www.startv.in. Presently site is in its beta version.

The first look of site is similar to hulu.com in structure.  Like all video content base site video player have very important place. Now days every one is emphasizing on user experience with the player. The player of this site is unique in many ways.

The player is having all regular features which video players have now a day like playing controls, share, embed, rate etc.  

But the feature which is very unique and attracted me to write this post is ‘controls’. When you click on ‘controls’ the  panel opens with the player with some outstanding  controlling options, where you can control the video’s ‘color’, ‘brightness’, ‘contrast’ and ‘quality’.

You can control video color, brightness and contrast for the playing video like you do in your TV as per your requirement. The site is having the ‘Lights On/Off’ feature also. All these give the user a unique experience in online video viewing.

So as an end user I can say “HEY!! I HAVE GOT THE POWER!”
