Closing slash in IMG tags causing problems?

Cecily Williams

Hi all,

We're having some troubles with mystery code appearing in our emails when opened in Outlook on a PC. 

Before and after an image, the following code appeared:

Before

<=""


After

a=""


I looked at our templates, and all the image tags end with a forward slash. Example:

<img src="http://secure3.convio.net/ohsu/images/content/pagebuilder/image-name.jpg" alt="Saturday, November 10" width="500" height="550" />


It seemed like when I took out that last slash before the closing >, it fixed it.

But now it looks like Luminate put it back in? Am I going nuts? And is this a known issue - the forward slash causing weird code to appear in Outlook? And is it a recent known issue?


Thank you all! I'm not a coder - but I'm having to become one because of this stuff.
