when you include data as base64, you will use the data:// uri that URI[1] allows for explict description of the TYPE, so that is where X2V extracts the TYPE data from.
see http://suda.co.uk/contact/ i have a hidden class="photo" with a data URI: <img clas="photo" alt="my Gravitar" src="data:image/png;base64,i.....hejwhjkew" /> from that i can extract the TYPE data "image/png" becomes TYPE=PNG I hope that makes sense. -brian [1] - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2397.txt On 11/3/06, Costello, Roger L. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks Brian. No, I don't have an example of where the type subproperty is needed. In fact, like you, I saw no need for it with hCard (although I can see the need in vcard, where the logo can be expressed directly in the vcard as base64). Perhaps there should be a mention on the hCard page that logo does not have a type subproperty? /Roger -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Suda Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 11:07 AM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] "type" subproperty in the hCard logo property? from RFC 2426 3.5.3 LOGO Type Definition: Type special notes: The type can include the type parameter "TYPE" to specify the graphic image format type. The TYPE parameter values MUST be one of the IANA registered image formats or a non-standard image format. because the <img> element doesn't really allow you to nest child elements, and since the type attribute is really on available on the 'a' element. There is no way to really encode the value. I'm not sure exact what purpose it serves in a vCard application anyway. (i think) X2V will automatically extract the TYPE property from the @src string if possible. Do you have an example of a place you think you NEED a type defined on an image? -brian On 11/3/06, Costello, Roger L. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > The vcard specification says that the logo property may have a type > subproperty to indicate the format of the logo image (e.g., gif, jpeg). > However, as I look at the hCard specification it does not show the logo > property as having a type subproperty.
