html - Identical links in Outlook Email - why does only one render as a valid URL? -


system i'm working on generates emails user. these created loading template , filling in placeholders in text appropriate information.

many of these emails feature link system website. presented in 2 forms: normal text underlined link , faux-button.

when have system send emails hotmail account, these both work. however, when same email gets sent outlook 2007, text link works. if hover on button shows blank url of "http://" which, if clicked, opens fresh browser window.

examining generated html, both links have valid destination.

<td width="160" align="center" valign="middle">      <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mobile_hide">         <tbody>           <tr>              <td width="560" align="left" valign="top" style="font-size:14px; color:black; padding-bottom: 80px;">please <a href="[valid link site, large querystring]" style="color: #009ddb; text-decoration: underline">choose new password here</a>.</td>           </tr>         </tbody>      </table>   </td>   <td width="280" align="center">      <table width="280" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">         <tr>            <td width="280" align="center" valign="middle" style="color: #ffffff; background-color:white; width:280px">                 <div>                     <!--[if mso]>                     <v:roundrect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" href="http://" style="height:40px;v-text-anchor:middle;width:280px;" arcsize="63%" strokecolor="#32b8eb" fill="t">                     <v:fill type="tile" />                     <w:anchorlock/>                     <center style="color:black;font-size:16px;width:280px;font-family:calibri;">reset password now</center>                     </v:roundrect>                     <![endif]--><a href="[valid link site, large querystring]" style="border:1px solid #32b8eb; border-radius:25px;display:inline-block;font-size:16px;line-height:50px; text-align:center; text-decoration:none;height:50px;width:280px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;mso-hide:all;color:black;">reset password now</a>                 </div>        </td>     </tr>  </table> </td>

why button email not being rendered correctly in outlook? can't blanket security feature text link works fine.

i'm taking wild guess second href 1 doesn't work. reason have 3 hrefs, 2 closing </a> tags. second 1 in outlook-specific code lacks closing tag , interferes withe bottom href.

<!--[if mso]>   <v:roundrect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" href="http://" style="height:40px;v-text-anchor:middle;width:280px;" arcsize="63%" strokecolor="#32b8eb" fill="t">   <v:fill type="tile" />   <w:anchorlock/>   <center style="color:black;font-size:16px;width:280px;font-family:calibri;">reset password now</center>   </v:roundrect> <![endif]-->

specifically, it's line: <v:roundrect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" href="http://" style="height:40px;v-text-anchor:middle;width:280px;" arcsize="63%" strokecolor="#32b8eb" fill="t">

close or remove statement in outlook code. it's doing nothing right except interfering bottom href. bottom href should start work.

good luck.

edit

the outlook-specific href gets closed </v:roundrect>. </a> not needed. think code comes https://buttons.cm. expected behavior place url button graphic can use fallback, https://buttons.cm/button.jpg. since there no url , http://, think still caused issue outlook. if had code, test it, don't. wanted add fix experiencing similar problem better thought out solution.

Add a dynamic header in angular 2 http provider -

i have http interceptor built via tutorial https://scotch.io/@kashyapmukkamala/using-http-interceptor-with-angular2 the problem need have dynamic header changes automatically once changes 'mode' in app. service able tell interceptor change header, or have interceptor pull header (which string)from service each request. able throwing away patch method, call http.patch('new header string') set header string. call in service controls 'mode' setting. wondering if there way interceptor pull recent value service each request or if can add method http provider via interceptor? i've tried call service in interceptor each request returns undefined. because creating new instance of service or copying value before service fired , loaded/changed data. i don't want pass header string every http provider call because defeats purpose of having interceptor, id able set once changes or have provider fetch service before makes request. tl;dr : need add autom...
