==================
I am trying to style the {SURVEYURL} into a button.

In the survey template I use: 
<p><a href={SURVEYURL}  style='color: white; font-style: bold;background: red; padding: 20px; border-radius:5px;'>Click here! </a></p>

but in the receiving email I do not see a button, but:

examples.respondage.nl/index.php?r=surve...1&sid=xxxxxx&lang=nl style='color: white; font-style: bold;background: red; padding: 20px; border-radius:5px;'>Click here!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Try wrapping {SURVEYURL} in quotes.

Too bad. This did not work.

Thanks for taking the time, though...

Hi,
{SURVEYURL} already contains the <a href=... part

<p><a href="<a href=" www.myserver.de/lime6/index.php/772936?token=111&lang=de "> www.myserver.de/lime6/

Therefore you have to use

<p><a href="@@SURVEYURL@@"  style='color: white; font-style: bold;background: yellow; padding: 20px; border-radius:5px;'>Click here! </a></p>

See here:

@@SURVEYURL@@
The URL to start the survey - this is the barebone link. Use this if you want to integrate the link in your custom HTML elements somewhere (available in v1.90 and later)

Right you are!

This works. Now I have to find out more about inline styling, because the background, fontcolor and font-style seems to work, but padding does not. Or maybe I should try to use a picture.

Hi,
here a few examples to show that padding works imo (Mail client: Thunderbird):


1:
<a href="@@SURVEYURL@@"  style='text-decoration:none; font-style: bold;color: white;background: maroon; padding: 20px; padding-top:50px;border-radius:5px;'>Click here 1! </a>

2.
<a href="@@SURVEYURL@@" style='text-decoration:none; font-style: bold;color: red;background: lime; padding: 20px; padding-right:50px;border-radius:5px;'>Click here 2! </a>

3.
<a href="@@SURVEYURL@@" style='text-decoration:none;border:1px solid red;background:#ddd;color:#333;padding: 5px 10px; border-radius:50%;'>Click here 3! </a>

4.
<a href="@@SURVEYURL@@"   style='text-decoration:none; font-style: bold;color: blue;background: yellow; padding: 15px 25px; border-radius:10px;'>Click here 4! </a>

Yes, this depends on the mail client that I use (Outlook) where it looks rubbish. Maybe there is a setting, but I cannot expect that my respondents know this.
I will put it under a picture.
