The main problem I see here is, that it is not very well supported. Especially IE below 8 does not support it at all and IE8 seems to support data URIs in CSS style sheets, only. Quote from https://developer.mozilla.org/en/data_URIs (Common problems): "The data scheme is supported by Opera 7.20 and above, as well as Safari and Konqueror. Internet Explorer 7 and below, however, do not currently support it. Internet Explorer 8 and above only supports data URIs for images in CSS." Moreover this technique is somewhat problematic because it defeats some caching mechanism, and will enlarge the resulting page -- not very kind for people with small bandwith and/or paying by traffic. I think something supporting this could go to hacks or contrib with a big red warning about the consequences and a careful discussion of when to use this and when best not to use it. Best, -- David PS: There is http://www-archive.mozilla.org/quality/networking/testing/datatests.html that lets you test your browser for the support of content included in data URIs. -- OpenPGP... 0x99ADB83B5A4478E6 Jabber.... dmj...@jabber.org Email..... dm...@ictsoc.de
