With a 403 error I'm not surprised!

Link doesn't work.

working for me and two other clueless work guys across the country?

Works here, but clueless also.

Could you not screenshot it and paste into a mail for simplicity?

Email clients and decent HTML/CSS do not mix - recent versions of the desktop version of Outlook use MS word to render HTML emails, some web-based email clients will strip off the <head> tag, including any styles you declare within, others will ignore certain CSS properties.

Tables and inline CSS styles are the way to go if you want your email to render reasonably well across a wide range of clients - http://thesiteslinger.com/blog/10-tips-for-designing-html-emails/

Interestingly it works now!

Dump the Javascript bit. It probably won't work and might get your emails blocked as well.

As Oz.... says, email clients are a bit rubbish when it comes to rendering. Do you know that all your clients will be using Outlook? and not just viewing the email as text?

It might be easier to send it as an inline picture in all reality.

Easiest solution! Otherwise redo it using tables and inline CSS as mentioned and check it in a few clients.

Probably overkill, but if you want to send out emails regularly, check out Ink.

Have you thought about using something like mail chimp.

Most email clients will block HTML by default until the reader confirms by right clicking and downloading images. Make sure you have a good text version to use as well.
