How to achieve an absolute tab in an e-mail message?

Developers Programming

Hi,

I started a month ago with Scriptcase. One issue I can hardly solve: An absolute tab instead of " = ".
A button in PHP code runs in a grid for selected entries to confirm by e-mail.

Does a way to handle exist yet? Maybe a HTML part of coding? Any experience in this area would help.

The message, of type HTML, starts like this:
$mail_message = {lang_Global_fld_ShowName}." = “.$ShowName.”<br>";
$mail_message = $mail_message.{lang_Global_fld_ShowLocation}." = “.$ShowLocation.”<br>";
$mail_message = $mail_message.{lang_Global_fld_ShowAddress}." = “.$ShowAddress.”<br>";
$mail_message = $mail_message.{lang_Global_fld_Organization}." = “.$Organization.”<br>";
$mail_message = $mail_message.{lang_Global_fld_Website}." = “.$Website.”<br><br>";

Note: The following code to combine lines happened to be unstable:
$mail_message .= {lang_Global_fld_ShowLocation}." = “.$ShowLocation.”<br>";
For some lines the breaks in the output missed. Later on I could not reproduce.
Maybe it happened because of message type text and the other instructions for carriage return.

HTML for the e-mail message in Scriptcase responds to the style with a new line

Hi,

This is how far I get. Looks to me like a bug.
The result is a new line instead of continuing at the same line.

$mail_message = '&lt;head&gt;These are the details of your entry:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;';	
$mail_message .= '&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;div {position: absolute;left: 20em;}&lt;/style&gt;';      // a satisfying position cannot be tested
$mail_message .= '&lt;/head&gt;';	
$mail_message .= '&lt;body&gt;';
$mail_message .= {lang_Global_fld_ShowName} . '&lt;div&gt;'.$ShowName . '&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;'; 
  	$mail_message .= '&lt;/body&gt;';

// old line: $mail_message .= {lang_Global_fld_ShowName} . ' = ' . $ShowName . '&lt;br&gt;';

Testresult:

These are the details of your entry:

Show Name
the name
