CSS styles in Seam Mailer

mikebgx Jul 28, 2009 7:59 PM

I'm sending emails from a Seam app by using a <h:dataTable within the <m:body of a <m:message.
I'd like to left-align the columns. For a <h:datatable thats displayed on a web-page I can add: headerClass="leftColumn, leftColumn" where .leftColumn in my .css contains: text-align: left;

But I can't see how to reference the .css file from my email facelet

At the start of my <m:body I tried adding:
<html>
<head>
<link href="stylesheet/theme1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
but column headers in the email are still centred.

Any ideas please?

Hi Folks,

I've answered my own question, here's how I did it in case anyone else needs to...
I defined an internal stylesheet, but needed to put it inside an escaped <f:verbatim

So immediately after my   <m:body>   I have:
<html>
    <head>
<f:verbatim escape="true"> <style> .leftColumn {text-align: left;} </style> </f:verbatim>
    </head>
    <body>
        .....

Then having defined the style, in my <h:dataTable I can add this:
headerClass="leftColumn, leftColumn, ...

Regards, Mike
