Correction to 2nd Paragraph: If you want to copy RTF, not rich text, then you need to write a custom Outlook Add-on to process clipboard text RTF data. Add-On code will be restricted, unlike browser security model. -- Bwig Zomberi

I have seen it done without any add on's at pratyatosa.com/ DiacriticsConverter.htm... This page seems to be able to create rtf into the clipboard with no add ons... What I really want to say is Thank you so much no matter what for your attention to this blog... It is nice to get some reaction... -Galactic

The signature box in this version accepts any content copied using "Copy" and "Copy shortcut" menu options of IE. I went to http://pratyatosa.com/DiacriticsConverter.htm but did not find the link that copied RTF to clipboard. I wrote the following web page code to simulate the behavior of your "somedomain.com/fruitflies/index.htm?vanity=1". That also works with the signature box. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title></title> <meta name="generator" content="Bluefish 2.0.0" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <script type="text/javascript" > function changeLink(oLink) { oLink.outerHTML = "<a href=\"http://www.example.com/index.htm?id=" + Math.random() + "\">Outlook Link</a>"; } </script> </head> <body> <a href="http://www.example.com/index.htm" onmouseover="changeLink(this);">Outlook Link</a> </body> </html> You could replace Math.random with getCookie of a unique tracking cookie value set by your server. -- Bwig Zomberi |
