]]> Comment on Creating an HTML signature file for just about anything by Shelly http://brassblogs.com/tutorials/creating-an-html-signature-file-for-just-about-anything#comment-624 Shelly Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:20:30 +0000 http://brassblogs.com/?p=189#comment-624 Hi Cath, honestly, I don't know how to answer your questions. I don't own Outlook, and I rarely use my PC anymore (basically only to test website designs, and that's pretty much it). So I don't know how to answer your questions in regards to Outlook. I wrote this tutorial about 3 years ago, and the "Outlook" bit I got nailed down because I was working with a client who *did* use Outlook, and the above were the steps we took to get this to work for him. But again, that was back in 2009, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't using the most recent version of Outlook. Hopefully someone else can answer your questions, but in the meantime, I can only suggest *moving* those files you feel are "extra" and see if it has any effect on your signature. If it doesn't, it's probably safe to delete them. if it does, you can just move them back. Hope that helps! Hi Cath,

(2007, I think) Another query I have is when I created the blank signature for overwriting and then navigate to the 'signatures' folder there is a new folder containing various formatting/image files for the new blank signature and outside of that folder it has created 3 files: one html, one rich text and one plain text. I guess I overwrite the .htm one but do I delete or leave the other (now redundant?) files. Hope someone can help Cath Hi

It's CSS, so you'd just have to edit it a bit to fit your needs. If you want the same image to appear for both the hover and active states (for the span *and* the link) it would require a different bit of CSS for the span, but if it's just for the link, using a sprite is easy. You just need to mess with the visibility and the background-position state in your CSS to fit your needs. You should. It’s CSS, so you’d just have to edit it a bit to fit your needs.

]]> Comment on Sticky Footer by Shelly http://brassblogs.com/css/sticky-footer#comment-619 Shelly Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:38:52 +0000 http://brassblogs.com/?p=43#comment-619 Hi Leo, I don't believe I've ever had that issue - I just can't imagine someone collapsing the browser window so much that the center column disappears. I suppose it's possible though, since it's set to have the center column fluid while the sidebars are fixed width. You could probably get around this by setting the margins for the center to percentages (with the sidebars to match) and setting a min fixed-width px for the middle? That's just off the top of my head, since I haven't worked with this layout in some time. I'd have to revisit this and see what I can come up with :) But hopefully that helps a bit! Hi Leo,

That's pretty much how I've done it for..well, always! I'm not really familiar with any HTML editors/creators for you, because the ones that generate stuff for you kinda suck. (In my experience!) The HTML code I provided above should be a good example of what to use - you can edit that as needed. But I really can't point you to any programs that would do it for you since I just don't use them., and I'd hate to recommend something just because it exists. Hi Beth,
