Re: my image is not showing

This is not how HTTP works.

You're trying to output the data for two URLs at once. You need to handle the page HTML and the image data in two separate requests, because that's what your browser sends you. Your HTML never links to the image.

Let me suggest that you start out with a static image (and possibly static HTML), then move towards dynamic HTML and the static image, and then move from a static image to creating a dynamic image. That way, you will have separated the steps into programs.

You need to handle the page HTML and the image data in two separate requests There actually is a way to do this in one request, but it's not for the faint of heart, and it won't work in older browsers, or in some browsers if the encoded size is larger to than 4k. But, for those times when you really want to do it, use the data:// URL scheme. See the docs from mozilla for more info. I personally have never had a situation where the images I'm generating fit within the size limit, so have never had a chance to make use of this ... and I believe this is one of the tests that IE7 is still failing in Acid2	[reply]
