Carrier Logo

PinneyQuoter also provides logos for the carriers it quotes. There is a single sprite file at http://quoter.pinneyapps.com/images/carriers.png which you are free to use. This file contains all of the carrier logos available. To use it as a sprite, set it as the background of a fixed-size element (162px by 60px), and specify a vertical offset. The vertical offset is the value of any results's sprite node in pixels.

For example, if I am processing a result which contains -2040, then my element should have an attribute of style="background-position: 0 -2040px".

To make a CSS rule for your carrier sprite elements, you might do something like the following:

.carrier-sprite {
  background-image: url(http://quoter.pinneyapps.com/images/carriers.png);
  height: 60px;
  width: 162px;
}

    Pinneyquoter can return quotes from multiple queries at once (so long as the client-related parameters are the same for all of them). 
    For example, if your client wishes to see quotes for coverage of 500,000 dollars and for coverage of 750,000 dollars, you would supply
    two quote-param nodes within the quote-params array. In most cases, only a single quote-param node is enclosed in the quote-params array.
