When I actually try to edit the template from the Inset Template dialog my HTML looks like:
<link href="css.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
<base href=/>
<table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=600 align=center border=0>
<tbody>
<tr height=9>
<td colSpan=2> </td>
</tr>
<tr class=background>
<td class=back_text vAlign=top bgColor=#50030b colSpan=2 height=200>
<p>Dear [firstname] & [spousename],</p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
When it should look like:
<html>
<head>
<title>Happy Anniversary</title>
<link href="css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<BASE href="http://cutesoft.net/">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#F4E9EB">
<table align="center" width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr height="9">
<td colspan="2">
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="background">
<td colspan="2" height="200" valign="top" bgcolor="#50030B" class="back_text"><p>Dear [firstname] & [spousename],</p>
td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Then when I insert that template into the editor. I get:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=600 align=center border=0>
<tbody>
<tr height=9>
<td colSpan=2> </td></tr>
<tr class=background>
<td class=back_text vAlign=top bgColor=#50030b colSpan=2 height=200>
<p>Dear [firstname] & [spousename],</p>
td></tr></tbody></table></p>
</body>
</html>
What am I doing wrong?
My goal here is to keep the LINK tag in the HEAD tag so that I can reference an external CSS.
