I have used Mozilla Thunderbird for a long time, and created a well-polished HTML signature that works perfectly with Thunderbird.
How is it possible to use the same signature inside of Apple Mail? As far as I know, it does not support HTML signatures (which, perhaps, is a valid security policy, but works against the needs of our team).
If there is no way to inject the HTML code, what would be the better way to approach this issue?
This varies depending on which Apple Mail/OS X version you're using.
The simplest thing to try would be to open your signature html file in Safari (Chrome and Firefox behave differently and would result in images being attached), copy it from there and paste it in the signature field in Mail > Preferences > Signatures.

the opening of the website in the Microsoft Edge browser is indicated if installed on the device.
Can anyone help me? I would like the site to open in Google Chrome and not in Edge.
How should I edit this HTML?
To open the link using the Chrome browser instead of Microsoft Edge, you can change the value of href attribute like this: PARTECIPA. Assuming that Chrome browser is installed, that should open the Chrome browser.
Problem:
If Edge is not installed on the device (mob, desk or tab) it doesn't
work
In this case, it's best to simply use a standard URL without specifying a specific browser, like this. PARTECIPA. In addition, the "googlechrome:" protocol is not a standardized protocol and probably may not work in all devices. So, you can use a standardized URL like the code snippet I posted above and let the users device choose.
Do you know if instead of chrome I can specify "default browser"
Example PARTECIPA or
something similar?
There is no standard protocol for specifying the default browser. So, best approach is to simply use a standard URL without specifying a specific browser. But if you really want to use special web protocols inside hypertext links to force web pages or files to open with particular browsers on Windows or iOS, place browser-name before the hypertext reference link.
Check this:
Open in Google Chrome
Open in Microsoft Edge
Open in Mozilla Firefox
Open in Apple Safari
Open in Opera
This function does not work!
A similar example is for IOS, which works in the following way
Example :

Google has official documentation on the Chrome iOS app’s URI scheme on its developer website.
Simply replace http with googlechrome and https with googlechromes. This means:
http://www.google.com/ becomes googlechrome://www.google.com/
https://apple.stackexchange.com/ becomes googlechromes://apple.stackexchange.com/
Previously, it supported an x-callback-url of googlechrome-x-callback://. This allowed the calling app to indicate its name and URI scheme to Chrome, which would show a back button in the address bar that closes the tab and invokes the specified URI. This feature was removed a few years ago when iOS 9 added the “Back to …” button in the status bar (but the URI scheme still works).
I have a webapp which is running perfectly well in most browsers, but I'm still trying to work out a few bugs which is preventing it from working correctly in iOS Facebook's in-app browser. Until I've got these sorted, I'd like to provide a message to give users the option to open the link in Safari.
The solution I have for now is to use javascript to detect the browser's user agent (similar to this question), and if it's the Facebook in-app browser, provide a message that the webapp is optimised for Safari and give instructions to copy and paste the link into Safari.
My question is this: is there a way to make a <a> tag open in a particular browser? I have seen questions like this one which seem to point to using target="_system" for Cordova apps, but is there a method to do this with html only?
There isn't a way to do this for Safari (using just HTML, anyway). For other browsers that have custom URL schemes, you could do it. For example, for Chrome you could have your link point to googlechrome://www.website.com.
The definitive answer: No, this is not possible.
As Andrew M mentioned, some browsers have some methods that do some things similar, but a pure html method to open a link in a generic browser does not exist.
How can I use HTML signature in Horde webmail. I can see the there is option "Switch to HTML composition" in firfox when I compose new message. But I don't see it in Internet Explorer and Chrome. I want to use my HTML signature embeded (by default) whenever I compose new message in all browser.
Any Solution?
Thanks
Looking at the Horde ticket system, it appears that there is no official support for HTML signatures in Horde Webmail.
It is partially implemented via Stationery, and others have suggested just creating a Draft in HTML Composition mode, inserting your Sig there, and just duplicating the Draft whenever you send an e-mail.
Beyond that, it may be something you can code yourself if you have access to the source.
I lookong for some IE or Firefox extension, which allows to browse html source, corresponding to data, shown in browser window right now.
I have large web application with alot of code, generated by JavaScript. I need to extract real HTML code, which I see in browser window right now (View source function shows only code loaded from server, not generated by JS). Most of JavaScript debuggers can show DOM model from browser memory, but I'am need something more friendly, like printable HTML. Does anybody know tools or plugins for IE (preferred) or Firefox?
Firefox's Web Developer extension will allow you to do this. After you install it, just select View Source->View Generated Source.
FireBug for Firefox will display the HTML corresponding to what you see in the browser window right now (that is including any modifications made in JavaScript).
You can use
javascript:document.write("<xmp>"+document.documentElement.innerHTML+"</xmp>");
in IE to view the generated source.
Paste the above and execute in address bar of IE.
I am supporting a system which sends an automatic populated email alert. I have rendered the page using a combination of CSS and html. The alert is sent from a system called Salesforce. My problem is, I have never owned a blackberry, and don't have access to one for testing purposes, but I know the alert looks like crap on it.
It seems to be reading the page as plain text, after rendering it and stripping all styles, tables etc. What considerations should I employ the increase the readibility of the alert on a blackberry.
To start with, in order to see HTML rendered e-mail on a BlackBerry simulator, no matter the model, the simulator must run off of a BES connection (corporate BlackBerry server), as the included ESS (the software POP/SMTP proxy app that allows you to test BlackBerry e-mail services locally), does not support HTML e-mail.
Alternatively, if you have no access to BES, you can still test HTML e-mail rendering with BIS (personal internet connection), but you would need to do so on a real device. You can build a program fairly quickly which listens to incoming e-mail on the device an then delivers the original source of the incoming e-mail to you for debugging.
That being said, the older models of BlackBerry (around RIM OS 4.1), do not support HTML e-mail. If they receive HTML e-mail, they will display the full HTML source code, tags and all.
As of RIM OS 4.5, HTML support has been implemented in the BlackBerry e-mail application. In these cases, if the device receives an HTML message, it will attempt to display the HTML rendered format, as best as it can.
If the device cannot render the HTML for whatever reason (such as if this is a simulator running with ESS), and the message is a MIME hybrid, where it contains both HTML and text-only parts in one message, the device will display the text-only version of the e-mail. If the e-mail message is HTML only, and doesn't contain a text-only equivalent in the same e-mail, the device will attempt to strip out the HTML bits and tags and such, and will attempt to present the HTML message as it's own text-only version.
One testing option would be to run the BlackBerry emulators. Getting email on to them is quite tricky, but you can at least use the browser to test the rendering if you set the message up as a web page.
I'm not convinced by joshperry's comment that the rendering is the same across browser and email app, but then again the BlackBerry platform is such a nightmare to develop with I've been wrong about lots of things...
Maybe you should send the e-mail both in HTML and Plain-text. With plain-text, you can still format things in a decent way. There are more groups who do prefer plain-text over HTML. The e-mailprotocol, and most clients and servers support sending a message in both formats.
Ended up checking compatability of Litmus across several browsers then ensuring that text rendering was ledgible and that all my 'alt texts' were in order. (litmusapp.com) very nifty tool not cause it lets you know about any compatability problems, but allows you to refer to a link so that marketing people who believe your current Microsoft Word email template works FINE on their computer. PS it renders gmail and hotmail for free.
Only very very recently has RIM released firmware that supports HTML email. That firmware still needs to be customized by the carriers and updated by the consumers. Also, the BES server has to be upgraded to the latest version to support HTML email.
My guess is that there will not be many Blackberry users that support HTML email at this point. I have upgraded mine with a bootleg firmware and have to say that even with the support HTML emails are very hit-and-miss. Sometimes they render, sometimes they don't; sometimes it depends on the sender, sometimes it just depends on the time of day.
The HTML email support on the blackberry is pretty industry standard though, if it would render properly in the Blackberry web browser it should look fine as an email.
