Howdy --
I've been playing around with making CF output Excel spreadsheets containing
JPEGs. As best as I can tell, Excel leaves
the actual JPEGs as external objects and stores only references to the source
objects in the .xls file itself. Every
time the spreadsheet is (re-)opened in Excel, the sources are
re-accessed/re-loaded, too.
Presuming one did a cffile action="read" to read a JPEG file's full datastream
into a CF variable, is it possible to
directly embed an actual JPEG in the .xls file, and if so, how would the
following standard code for outputting an Excel
spreadsheet via CF be modified to do so?
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="Yes">
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="filename=photos.xls">
<cfoutput>
<table cols="2">
<tr><td>Apple</td><td>picture of an apple</td></tr>
<tr><td>Orange</td><td>picture of an orange</td></tr>
</table>
</cfoutput>
