Stupid question about links in HTML

[Moosedrool]

Yeah I'm kinda a self taught kamikaze pilot when it comes to html code and haven't really used it for anything other than simple small changes.

I'm using html code for signiture designs that pulls information from AD into the signiture using symprex. I would like to find out how to avoid making the e-mail a link and just have it be black un-clickable text if this is even possible. Funny enough under the same symprex template some people's e-mails are while others aren't and the same html code accounts for all of them. :wtf:

Is there any one here that might know how to force it to be just text? If not possible how would the code look for single liners to be black text at least?

I;m not sure I understand what you want, but do you mean you just want plain text instead of it being a link? Like text in a <label>?

Yes. Just plain text in html. The e-mail addresses shows as links rather than text.

Edit: Grammar, because typing in a phone while in a hurry somewhere hard...

are you sure that the email client isnt translating the email address into a mailto: link?

I'd also think that this is the issue. Perhaps a setting on the app side you could turn off. Otherwise, css and maybe some js would be needed.

What ever client or web browser you are using, is automatically translating that link into a mailto and applying the default link styles - probably blue text, and an underline.

I don't htink you can get rid of that default functionality unless you add a space before and after the @ sign, you can however apply default styles to your links so that it appears like the rest of your text:

a, a:hover, a:active {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
}
