Round Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Not that this is important but I was bored at work and wanted to create a different signature in Outlook express 2003.I have gone to Tools -> Mail Format(tab) -> Signatures -> New (Given it a name) -> Next -> Advanced Edit (which opens up a Html file) I have then put in a message using the marquee(scroll) tag and then saved it. This all works fine and the message displays correctly in the preview box. I have then assigned it as a signature for all new messages.But... When I go to send an email it just gives me that crappy white box with the red x in it... and my marquee message doesn't work!!!Any Ideas why??Cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28091-marquee-in-outlook-2003/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Cheers but I've pretty much got that.Heres the default code in the Html doc it gives you:-[code]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Signature</TITLE><META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><META content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name=GENERATOR></HEAD><BODY><DIV align=left> </DIV></BODY></HTML>[/code]This is my addition(my edit):-[code]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Signature</TITLE><META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><META content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name=GENERATOR></HEAD><BODY><DIV align=left><MARQUEE>My Name, Department, Ext No.</MARQUEE></DIV></BODY></HTML>[/code]It works in the preview stage, but not on the emails. I think outlook doesnt like the marquee part, But it either allows Html or it doesnt? Surely??

DeathStar Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 surely it must!but i see something wrong with your script:try this[code]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Signature</TITLE><META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><META content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name=GENERATOR></HEAD><BODY><DIV align=left> </DIV><MARQUEE>My Name, Department, Ext No.</MARQUEE></BODY></HTML>[/code]You putt the div in wrong place! :D Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28091-marquee-in-outlook-2003/#findComment-128500 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonMariner Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 html support in email clients is by no means uniform. Stick to the most basic tags - no proprietary tags. Css is not that well supported either - probably best sticking to (it hurts to say it) in-line styles/formatting - eeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhh.
