First Question Embed in email is overspilling out of main email body


We have opted for the first quesiton email embed (opinion scale) and when we copy the code into the email it works fine for mac users and on mobile, but when opened in outlook the first question is super wide and spilling out of the main email body container. 

There is no reason for it to do this as the text can easily fit onto the email. It seems to be more a case of the background being the issue? It has repeated 3 times width-ways. I have some html/css knowledge and even when editing background-repeat to ‘background-repeat: no-repeat;’ I’m still having the issue.

I’m using HubSpot for the email creation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

David

@DavidTay - this comes from a user: 

this help article talks about Outlook and email questions.. not sure if it will help but Outlook does not seem to be supported (per the article)

Thanks @john.desborough , but unfortunately I’ve already read that article but I believe I’m already following the steps.

I have previously used an email embed and it worked fine. Not sure if something has changed recently that may have affected this.

Thanks @Liz,

I have tried the above suggestion but it still hasn’t fixed my email. Below is how my email currently looks. I have tried making the background-repeat: no-repeat; but even that doesn’t stop it showing as below.

 

Thanks

David

Hi @DavidTay Oh that’s funky. Would you mind sharing a screenshot of how you’re adding the code in?
