Hello

I am having an annoying time trying to do a simple text based email signature with a coloured background to the headline. And is not displaying at all how I would like it. Its either me being "spastic" or that I just don't know what I am doing.

Any help anyone?

Thanks

Are you using html to achieve this ?

Yep. This is the coding

<style>
#sig a:link{
color: #666;
}
#sig a:visited{
color: #666;
}
#sig a:hover{
color: #666;
}
</style>
<div id="sig">
<p><strong style="color: #FFF; background-color:#FFCC00; padding: 10px; font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:16px">we listen to what you say...</strong></p>
<p style="font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px"> action press | design & print</p>
<p style="font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:12px"><a href="http://www.action-press.co.uk" style="color: #666; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px #999999 dotted;">action-press.co.uk</a> | <a href="mailto:sales@action-press.co.uk" style="color: #666; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px #999 dotted;">sales@action-press.co.uk</a></p>
</div>

 

But for some reason Outlook 2007 doesn't display it how it should.

What does Outlook 2007 do with it?

Doesn't display the text on the yellow background properly and the padding has disappeared. All the other bits and pieces look fine. very irritating.

<strong> is an inline element, might be why it's misbehaving. Try applying the styles to the <p> around it instead.

Nope that doesn't seem to work. All the padding around the first <p> has been ignored by Outlook 2007 *sigh*
