[thelist] binary data in XML + XSL

Thu Apr 3 03:40:04 CST 2003

Well getting this working in HTML sounds hard enough.  There's this:

<object type="image/jpeg"
  data="data:image/jpeg;3300,FF00,2756,E5A0,E3A0,22F6, ...etc... ">
</object>

If you can't get that working then you might have more luck embedding the image
data in some SVG and embedding the SVG in the html.

looks at this

http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200210/msg01025.html

and this code I found for MSIE:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html xmlns:iSvg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

<object id="AdobeSVG" classid="clsid:78156a80-c6a1-4bbf-8e6a-3cd390eeb4e2">
</object>
<?import namespace="iSvg" implementation="#AdobeSVG"?>

</head>

<iSvg:svg
id="xxx2" width="380" height="100" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

	... svg code here ...

</iSvg:svg>

</body>
</html>
