Dumb ? about Gmail signature

by barefootsusan

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I am trying to use graphics for my social media profiles (like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc) with links in Gmail, but they images have a blue box around them. Presumably because they are links.

Is there a way to fix that so it's just the image without the link border?

    if you can see the HTML then your image tag needs a border="0" to stop the blue border from showing.

    like this: (first with a border)
    HTML Code:
     <a href="http://google.com"><img src="/images/g.png"></a>
    and again without:
    HTML Code:
     <a href="http://google.com"><img src="/images/g.png" border="0"></a>

    Thanks...I forgot about the border code. I just can't figure out how to view the source code for gmail signatures.

      I don't know if you can, but if you can, thats the code to stop the border.

    In your gmail inbox, click on the gear in the upper right corner. From the menu select labs.

    In that page find 'enable images' and select to enable. This is a quote after enabled.

    "Allows you to insert images into a message body. You can upload and insert image files in your computer, or insert images by URLs. This lab will not work if you have offline enabled."

    After it is enabled, you will have an 'insert image' icon above your email text box. I use it to upload images directly into gmail. They never have a border added. But from the quote, it looks like if you have a url for the image you could just paste that after your sig, or make it a part of your sig.

    A couple of other options worth ticking off while you are in labs, are 'default text styling' which gives you a rich text editor and lets you send out html type emails, and 'Authentication icon for verified senders' which will show a key icon to the left of your subject line, to verify that an email actually came from paypal or ebay.
