D***, that works nicely. "That's Not a Picture" converts an image into a TABLE so that it will display (one would hope) on most browsers, even with "load images" shut off. On my first try I neglected to crop and reduce the size of the picture, so it's good that I didn't try to load that one into a browser. The second attempt produced HTML north of 2 MB in size. This one (including this text) is about 136K. I should think that, since there is far more bandwidth involved, it would slow things down, but it appears to pop right up, and (at least on a Mac) looks like the original image to my eye. Oops, scratch that... it looks perfect in iCab and in IE, but not in Mozilla or Netscape (this is all under OS X). I suppose this is how content providers foil image theft... |

AH, I think I get you... interesting. Where did you run across this trick? Interesting thing is that when you can SEE it draw, it is a picture of someone's upper head that draws in five steps... which then disappears into a green bar code thingy. It takes a while to upload... and to download. My DSL took a distinctly longer time than usual. If one loads a page and then scrolls to it, it is already drawn and all you see is the thingy. This is on Safari. IS that your Sunken forehead Civ? |
Have I shown you this?
