Save images and text in a single file

[Rud]

Hi,

Is there a file format that browsers can read where all the images and text
are stored into a single file. I'm using a database application that allows
me to attach a single file only. And I want that file to be a webpage with
images included...

Any idea where to start looking?

Thanks,

Rud.

you could encode the images in the html, not supported by IE but works
with NS4.x, moz and opera.

why cant you just include the links to the images?

No. Well, yes, a PDF but you don't want to inflict that on your viewer.

You don't attach images to a web page, you link to them with an img element.

And I want that file to be a webpage with
images included...

Where did you obtain this "application"?

Right here... can't be done.

I didn't know that!

Is that an image of you without your protection on? Cant really tell, even
when I blow it up to 500%.

i'm sure you did, we've gone over it before. you've just forgotten.

yes, its the image i use for my 1bit usenet x-face in my headers

"NDEIR|fF!DoqI!Tm27N~JOUkO#:1035}tc,Oz}rUP|2?usp82p"e18,a#[mTPSF1GEO`v]

x-face decoder at the bottom of the page:

or you could use a real newsreader that will display them.

Cant really tell, even when I blow it up to 500%.

1. blow it up to 1000% and stand about 4-6mt away from the monitor
2. gouge your eyes out while screaming hysterically

What about using PDF's then all of the text and images are contained in the
one file?

you're trying to fix the wrong problem. use a better db app

then all of the text and images are contained in the
one file?

you have to hope that people have pdf support and they can be bothered
downloading them. personally i don't bother anymore, i got sick of
downloading 200k pdfs that could have been done with 10k of html.

And where do you put the hyperlinks in a PDF file?

Yes

PDFs (recent versions at least) support hyperlinks. And some browsers
do support anchor-style links to specified pages/locations within
PDFs.

Not that this makes it a good solution, but *if* their browser
supports PDF or can work with an application that does, it will work.
The *if* is obviously a potential killer.

Crikey, so that's where those hits were coming from. I was browsing my
server logs earlier today, and thought, what the ...? And I had almost
forgotten about that page.

For the record, it's really more of a "party trick" rather than a
recommended method for displaying images.
