Email Signature using CSS

[jonthomas83]

Hi guys I've set up and email signature using a HTML doc, i'm trying to link the document to my email signature in Microsoft Outlook.

However, the CSS I've put in the header of the HTML document isn't executing, (i'd usually put it in a seperate CSS sheet but I can't attach both to my emails).

So I was wondering if there's any way of specifying 'a:hover' and other anchor tag style attributes in the actual body of the document. I've tried doing style="a:hover {color:#000000}" in the tag elements but it isn't working.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Jon

You might take a look at this: http://www.w3.org/TR/css-style-attr#examples
however....
Most email clients ignore those CSS attributes (e.g. msn, hotmail, gmail), stripping them from the code. Unless you can format your signature using strict HTML coding, it won't be guaranteed to show up as you want it.
