Set background image in email template

Hi’ya,

I am trying to create an email template within the Campaigns module. My current issue is that I cannot get the background image to stick. B) I can place it in either the body of the email or of a table. Looks great until I click save - then it mysteriously disappears. :kiss: I’ve done some extensive searching on this and can’t find a solution. I’d really appreciate any advice on this topic. Thank you.

before saving the HTML code looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<table style="width: 996px; height: 341px;">
<tbody style="width: 886px; height: 280px; background-image: url('http://www.sillypants.com/media/wysiwyg/tradeshow10.jpg');">
<tr>
<td style="height: 40px;">Hi $contact_first_name,</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">test</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

after saving, the code looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table style="background-image: url(;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table style="width: 996px; height: 341px;">
<tbody style="width: 886px; height: 280px;">
<tr>
<td style="height: 40px;">Hi $contact_first_name,</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">test</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This is a known bug but has not as yet been fixed.

Thanks,

Will.

I have the same problem. Any solution?
