Why does that surprise you? A jpeg has a well-defined header that tells whatever application is rendering it what to look for. By putting those tags at the beginning of the data sent to your browser, you're no longer getting a well-formed jpeg. The header is wrong. As an experiment, if you're on *nix, or have access to a decent shell, try this: $ echo '<html><body>' > newfile.jpg $ cat /path/to/any_normal_jpeg >> newfile.jpg $ echo '</body></html>' >> newfile.jpg If you don't have access to a shell, open a JPEG with your favorite text editor, and manually add "<html><body>" to the beginning, and save it out. Then try to open newfile in any piece of software of your choosing. It's no longer a well-formed jpeg, so it won't work. That's exactly what you're asking the browser to do. I guess this isn't really python related, so my apologies for that. Cheers, Cliff -- Oook, J.
