No, you can't do what you want to do. You are indeed asking too much. :) If the entire world were HTTP/1.1 and you didn't mind rewriting the webserver, you might be able to keep the image in memory and wait for the second request but currently you just can't. The browser is going to connect, get the html, and after potentially disconnecting ask for the image in a second request. Do what Randal shows, stuffing the recently generated image in a temp directory and giving out a dynamic picture url that references it is the way to go. And hope that in XHTML2.0, there is someway to abuse the <OBJECT> tag so that you could embed the image straight into the page... cause till then, you're stuck working around the stateless/multiple connect nature of HTTP connections. --mark _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
