CSS inlining a Base64 image

Question

This is my code :

<td height="738" valign="top" width="717" align="center" background="mail_files/paper.png">

I have converted the background "paper.png" to Base64 and I want to embed it there. Is there any way to do it?

I tried :

<td height="738" valign="top" width="717" align="center" background=url("data:image/jpeg;base64,.....Base64img.....">

But this did not work.

Answer 1

This should work if you'll use proper CSS:

<td class="PaperCell" height="738" ...>

And in the CSS:

.PaperCell { background-image: url(data:image/jpeg;base64,.....Base64img.....); }
