My signature works sporadically with this script. Sometimes it will show up and sometimes it will not (i.e. no signature at all). I only have 1 account. |

@Robert Andrews The trouble you are having with Google Apps is a known issue. Have you read through the known bugs? http://blankcanvasweb.com/gmail2_html_sigs/bugs/ @kellerza Thank you for the details! I'll look into this more when we get close to having a final FF3 release. |

It will store a signature for either one of my email addresses - but not both.

Thanks Jerome! This makes life a breeze On FF3b5: If the script disappears, Clear you cache (only cache!) and reload. Ctrl-F5 doesn't work. After a quick look at the script it seems as if the google greasemonkey api ('unsafeWindow.gmonkey') is not available when any elements are cached, strange!? (Even with only greasemonkey ext installed, 20080121 version) |

The script still works just fine on the latest final (non-beta) release of Firefox (2.0.0.13). I will not be working on a fully supported Firefox 3 script until its official release this Falyl (if my understanding is correct). I simply do not have the time to rework the script for every release of the beta. My understanding is that it wasn't working through FF3 beta 3, but I have tested the script on FF3 beta 4 and FF3 beta 5, and they BOTH work for me. As soon as Mozilla gets close to a final FF3 release, I will check for final compatibility. If the script "suddenly stops working" on any version of Firefox 2, FF3 beta 4 or FF3 beta 5 for which it was previously working, it is probably due to a conflict with another script or add-on that you have added. Try uninstalling everything but this script, checking if it works, then re-installing your other scripts and add-ons which checking for compatibility. Please see known bugs (http://blankcanvasweb.com/gmail2_html_sigs/bugs/) before posting an "it's now working" comment. Keep in mind that this is a free script that I work on in my free time. I know that it's not perfect, but while I am dedicated to making this work on as many versions of Firefox and Gmail as possible (I use it myself all the time), I do need to put supporting my family first. |

Using FF 3 Beta 5, just noticed that when I turn on HTML Signatures, not only does it not work but it prevents my Rememberthemilk Gmail extension from working. Disabling this script allows RTM to start working again. I noticed the same problem with enabling 2 specific options in the Better Gmail 2 extension. Still love the script, just can't wait for FF 3 to go final so everyone can get all the kinks worked out. |

Sounds like it's actually still not working for google apps, but there is a good workaround. Check the known bugs page. |

Good news! The script works on Firefox 3 Beta 4, so it looks like I won't have to do a rewrite after all! (Thanks to Brian for letting me know). Also, for all you Google Apps users out there, Brian made the following comment: "I copied your script and simply removed the code which deals with not having a gmail.com address." I'll try to get around to making these changes in the official release soon. |

I got it to work for google apps using the information supplied by Jerome but when trying to use my google apps email address it prompts me saying that the address must be an @gmail.com address instead of my google app email address. Anybody know a workaround for this? Is there some code I need to change? |

@Mark Are you running Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension installed? That's the prerequisite for using this script. There may be an extension for Safari, as well, but I'm not familiar with it. |

Can you explain where this script needs to live on a Mac? When I try to install it, it simply places the file on my desktop. Is there a specific place it needs to be put? |

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the project is still alive. I've been swamped with my full time job and side-contracts, which is very good, but means development on this script has been a little slow. The next version will fix the single account bug. I am aware of the Firefox 3 beta bug, which is due to the handling of document nodes from external sources. I can make it work, but it will take a while to rewrite the whole thing, and given that this Fall is the anticipated FF3 release date (from what I understand) I'm not too worried about it. |

It would be nice if one did not have to create a gmail account with multiple email addresses, but instead could just associate different sigs with different login, like past (non functional) scripts. Also, I can confirm the two email problem as well in relation to only remembering one. Requires closing firefox and reopening. |

I had some trouble getting the Script working with 3 Beta 3. Has anyone else been able to get it to work on that platform? |

Hello, i follwed the advice of Brit Mansell, and added my standard gmail account to my google apps gmail account, in the hope this would make the script work there, but it did not. Brit did u add your google apps acount to your standard gmail account? or the other way around?
Right now i cant find any greasemonkey script for an html signature that works with Google apps. Jerome, do you still need access to an account to figure this out? i'll talk to my guys about getting one if you do. Brit Mansell:

Great contribution, I like the way that you are able to add the HTML right in the compose view. I wrote a short tutorial on how to create a slick looking signature with your script: http://sim.plified.com/2008/02/02/slick-looking... |

Sweet! With the updated script, I can now use Gmail Addons, Remember the Milk for Gmail and Gmail HTML Signatures concurrently! RTM for Gmail kept dissapearing and when I added Gmail for HTML signatures around the 25th, it slowed Gmail down considerably. (Reposted this comment at Gmail Addons) |

HatastiX, This script is not affected as far as I can tell, but I will keep an eye on it. It may be that my gmail account has not yet gotten the updates (not sure how google rolls them out.) |

FYI... I'm not sure if this applies to you http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/gmailgrea... "We recently pushed a change so Gmail Javascript now loads in an iframe." "If you're the author of a Gmail Greasemonkey script, you should be able to work around the update by changing the window object used -- Mihai P. posted an update to his Macros script on Friday. If you are accessing the "gmonkey" object via a different mechanism, then you can reference it using top.js.gmonkey for now, and an update will be pushed this week that creates an alias in the main window's context." |
