Do you think it is usual behaviour to put images into IFRAMEs? I have only seen that on Freenet. And since it is more work (and needs more resources on most browsers) and is only done to work around another problem, I usually call thinks like this "a dirty hack". So: - there is a usual solution (IMG tags for images). - it does not work in a specified environment (Freenet). - there is no interest to fix that solution in this environment, because - there is a "simple" way to work around that problem (IFRAME) - which uses techniques not appropriate for the problem (starting a whole HTML parser subinstance just for rendering an image) and - makes migration of existing work harder (mirroring a website into Freenet requires s/img/iframe/) ==> dirty hack. What is your definition of dirty hack? mihi _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
