<<Try to use an eps in a reg html img tag and see if it displays on web... it won't because IT IS NOT an image format.>> Ah, so eps is more like a 'psd' file rather than a 'png' file.

Recently I was reading the blog of my webhost where they announced that they would be supporting .dwt as a text/html delivered file. They rationalized that since it was possible to do it, that they would support the customer who requested it. Personally I prefer to teach the uninitiated rather than divert the river for them, but its not my company or my call. I had thought that maybe 'eps' was a proprietary format similar to 'gif' is (was?). Hence the reason why I requested more information on the topic. After doing a (very) brief review of the google 'coldfusion convert .eps to ..jpg', it appears that there was a tag available in the cf5 - cf6 days that was capable of doing the conversion: CFXImage tag from Gafware http://tinyurl.com/4e2zb4 ---------------------------------- William Seiter IT Web Developer / Consultant ::-----Original Message----- ::From: Dave l [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ::Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 7:46 PM ::To: cf-talk ::Subject: Re: : Re: Getting cfimage to read .eps file :: ::No :: ::You guys need to understand that that cfimage is meant to work with ::images, hence the "image" part of the name and and eps IS NOT an image, so ::if it is not an image how can it read it?
