Html Email Problems In Hotmail

I made an HTML email which is displayed perfectly fine in Gmail, but with some strange hotmail errors. I have the following html

Solution 1:

A few tips:

1 - Campaign monitor has a good guide on what's supported on different mail clients. http://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/

2 - Exact Target (you have to pay) has an excellent service where it automatically tests your email on a variety of clients and makes screen-shots of them all, which you can view online or download as PDF. http://www.exacttarget.com/

Solution 2:

Try taking a look at the source of the message as Hotmail renders it - it may be messing with your tags, and you should be able to find out why there.

Secondly, I'd use Chrome's Inspect Element feature to inspect the items within the email - your styles may be applying properly, but some other item is overriding your styles. (Firebug in Firefox and Developer Tools in Safari also all do this, I just don't know the exact terms for them.)
