cheers john

hm, seems strange eh, you'd think this is something that is just possible.
many thanks for the link, i'll work it tonight.
alternatively i'll have to copy the image to the file system after all and serve it from the webserver.

cheers

Roland just showed you how to inline it.

Here's a little article on the technique he's using:

However, as Jenna said, this technique doesn't work in IE. Her first suggestion is probably the path of least resistance.

Hi Jenna, Roland

Thanks for your responses.
How can I get the image inline in the html, rather than downloading it to the user? I'm not at all sure how to use markaby to stream the image data into something the img tag will understand.
Many Thanks for helping

Cornelius

Make a controller with a get method to retrieve the image, then, have some code like this in it, supposing image_data is a string or something:

headers['Content-Type'] = 'image/png'
headers['Content-Length'] = image_data.length.to_s
return image_data

hi all

just working on my first camping hack and new to ruby as well.
i've figured some things out and uploading images into the database, but i'm not sure how to get the data displayed in the browser. i'd like to stream it straight from the db, not copy it to the fs first.
obviously img(:src => file_data) doesn't work.
any pointers or reading assignments would be v. welcome.
many thanks

cornelius
