Hello,

Is it possible to edit the answer table formatting so the answers(Yes, No) are Top aligned and not middle aligned in the cell?

This relates to the Detailed Admin Notification Template.

Thanks in advance,
Kareem

How about a screenshot and the version that is used?

Hi Holch,

LimeSurvey Version 3.19.2+191017

Attached is a screenshot. I would like to be able to have the "Yes" , "No" top aligned.

To be honest, I would try to do some more formatting, because this is horrible to read.

Maybe have a background color for the cells, or insert borders for the table, which would give the eye some better lead to where a result for a question starts and ends. Probably more helpful than top align the answers.

I am not an expert on the this email reports, but I assume you would have to add some CSS styling into the email template. I don't think it is possible to include external css files, so you probably need to write the css code directly into the email.

Therefore you would have to check how {ANSWERTABLE} is formatted in the final email and see where you can get a hook.

Now the problem that I see is the following. You have 3 ways to include CSS ( www.w3schools.com/css/css_howto.asp ) and to me it seems none of the ways will work in your case.

1. External CSS: Needs to be included into the head of the document, which we don't have access to.

2. Internal CSS: Also needs to be included into the head of the document.

3. Inline CSS: Needs to be included into the tags, which we also do not have access to, as they are within {ANSWERTABLE}

I don't know, maybe Tpartner, Denis or Joffm have an idea or workaround.

Hi Holch,

Yes you are right, the formatting is horrible, but it is not too important, so long as the answers are there and the votes can be tallied. The main reason I am looking at doing the top align of the answers is to make the process of matching the vote with the motion a bit easier as sometimes the motion is so long that the answer is on the second page due to it being in the middle of a cell that is covering a couple of pages, when printed.

Thanks for you help, hopefully someone else might chime in.

Insert something like this at the beginning of the body of the detailed email template:

So you can use "inline CSS" outside of the header? Great to know! I am a little rusty with my HTML and CSS. I really need to work on this again.

Yes, but it may not work in all email clients. I tested with Outlook.

Hi Tony,

I added the inline CSS and it worked perfectly. Thank you!

BTW, it works on the Mac Mail client.
