Re: combining html and on-the-fly images using Image::Magick

To clarify jeffa's response, you can't do what you want to do. Images in html are just links that the browser automatically downloads. There is a separate connection for every image. So what you are doing is more or less right.

This is not entirely true. It is possible to literally embed an image into the source of a page in HTML. Check out Re: Incorporating On-The-Fly Graphics In CGI output for details.	[reply]

That is indeed a cool trick, and is much needed, but I can't see any specs for it at w3c.org, which makes me think it is browser specific and therefore A Bad Thing, regardless of how cool it is. (Standards are everything. Obey the w3c. The w3c is your friend.) Update: the w3c has nothing to say on the matter, but the IETF does (as mentioned below in this thread). So yay to that. ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply]
