Re: Add "Image Miniatures" to your HTML

There is absolutely, positively, no legitimate reason to encode an image as an HTML table.

This is why we have RFC RFC 2397 and the data: URL schema

There is absolutely, positively, no legitimate reason to encode an image as an HTML table. Perhaps you've noticed that Perl Monks Approved HTML tags lists "table" (etc.) but does not list "img"? (Not that I consider posting HTML-table pictures at PerlMonks a wise idea.) Thanks for the demonstration of the data: URL. - tye	[reply]

As I said: "no legitimate reason" Beyond being "unwise", circumventing the list of approved HTML tags on Perl Monks (or any community orriented site) isn't what I would consider a "legitimate" reason.	[reply]
