What is the best way to put my logo into the footer of every website I make?

Question

What is the best method to put my company logo with a link at the end of the footer in every website which I make (if the client allows me)?

First, I would host the logo image on my site. What would then be the best method in xhtml and css for me to put in my logo?

Answer 1

You would be better served to inject a reference to a JavaScript file and reserve a certain size in every footer in order to adapt your content. This will allow you to make changes going forward. However, understand that most clients won't want this and that you will be getting a number of requests from all of your clients customers hitting your site frequently.

Answer 2

You could use an img tag wrapped in a tags.

Answer 3

Include a javascript from your server to add this. That way, you can modify it in the future if you need to without having to touch your client files. Of course, this won't get you an notoriety with people browsing while having javascript disabled.

    <script type="text/javascript" href="http://mysite.com/siteby.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  </body>
</html>

siteby.js would exist on your server. It would have something similar to the following:

// Create a link
var link = document.createElement("a");
link.setAttribute("href", "http://mysite.com");
link.innerHTML = "Site by Jonathan Sampson";

// Add it to the body
document.body.appendChild(link);

Just be sure that whatever you place in this script is efficient, and quick, and that your server delivers it with haste.
