Winston, do we have a firm due date for the design?

Comment 2

[Winston Bowden]

web dev needs at least a week to slice - that puts us at Monday?  The email won't go out until the day we actually ship fx4.

[John Slater]

Good to know...can you update the design bug with that info?

Comment 4

[Winston Bowden]

We're ready to have the Fx4 announcement sliced.  This will be sent the day Fx4 launches, so we'll need in hand by COB Friday if at all possible so we can test.  

The PSD can be found here:

Thank you!

Hey Steven - Can you or someone at SilverOrange help out here? It's a simple slicing project for the official Firefox 4 launch email. The timing on this is pretty aggressive - hoping to have it by end of day Friday to test over the weekend, but early Monday morning should work too.

Attachment: HTML version of mailing

Here's the mailing implemented in into HTML/images. The only notable change vs. the mockup is that I dropped the "Privacy Policy | Other Systems and Languages" text under the download button.

The button is just a static image that links to mozilla.com/firefox and these links are available on that page.

Thanks so much for your work.  Looks fantastic.  

I saw two small blemishes today when I did some testing.  This isn't a show stopper, but if we have some extra time to fix that would rock.  

The issue seems to resolve itself if you make your browser wider.  But when viewed at a normal width, the right vertical line bulges out.  Screenshot in the previous comment. 

I checked Chrome/Firefox and it was showing up in the major email services/clients.

Here's an updated copy with a fix for the rendering issue reported. My pre-school math skills are a bit rusty and two of the table cell widths were off by 10. The images are unchanged and the HTML is fixed.
