Actually BMP files are pretty well supported by web browsers - presumably mostly because favicons started out using BMP or ICO files. Wikipedia has a reasonable table although the BMP column is incomplete (NetSurf entry needs filling in!): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Image_format_support I'd agree that BMP is an odd choice though... > I'm not surprised that NetSurf barfed at it. NetSurf's BMP support is very complete/compatible from what I've seen. It's certainly much better than the rubbish which comes with AmigaOS :) (fortunately easily replaced with libnsbmp code) Chris
