Question

I am developing a newsletter and I’m having to support ancient POS email clients such as Lotus Notes 8 and there’s a strange issue whereby the contents of tags are written out as text.

There is a tag in the email, but the contents is not being rendered. This suggests to me that Lotus Notes 8 is not Javascript aware at all.

Is there a workaround in which the Javascript won’t run (obviously) but it also won’t render the text on the page as shown in the screenshot link below?

Note: I have tried style=”display:none” on the tag but to no avail.

Edit:

I’ve solved this by keeping the Javascript in an external file. I’m aware it won’t run on email clients, the purpose of the script is to track people accessing the email via HTTP.

Answer 1

Javascript doesn’t work in email. Email only supports html and limited css.
