Re: Generating pngs with Mason

I don't think this is what you're wanting, but on the off chance you're trying to embed the image data directly in a Web page rather than just linking to an image, you can check out the "data" URL scheme:

<img
src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhMAAwAPAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAMAAw

Thanks, Ovid! The PNG is short enuff to stuff in the tag itself as you suggested; works like a charm. I could struggle to figure out what was wrong with the dhanlder, but this moves me along, so I'll go with the simple. thanks!	[reply]

IE is certainly a consideration one should ponder and after giving this quite a bit of thought, I can only conclude I friggin' hate IE! What a rotten, stinkin' miserable piece of crap! I hate that browser with a passion. In all fairness, I'm not as "anti-Microsoft" as most of my compatriots but when it comes to IE, my zealotry is limitless. I hate that damned browser. It's caused me no end of pain in its lack of support for standards. Unfortunately, as the lowest common denominator, we've no choice but to pander to it. How incredibly frustrating. Side note: anyone else notice how they said their users don't want tabs but they're adding them in the latest version?. Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course. Hmmm ...
