Re: Add "Image Miniatures" to your HTML

[hossman]

There is absolutely, positively, no legitimate reason to encode an image as an HTML table.

This is why we have RFC RFC 2397 and the data: URL schema

Perhaps you've noticed that Perl Monks Approved HTML tags lists "table" (etc.) but does not list "img"? (Not that I consider posting HTML-table pictures at PerlMonks a wise idea.)

Thanks for the demonstration of the data: URL.

[hossman]

As I said: "no legitimate reason"

Beyond being "unwise", circumventing the list of approved HTML tags on Perl Monks (or any community orriented site) isn't what I would consider a "legitimate" reason.

Whoa, thank you for pointing out, because I didn't know. But then, there's diotalevi's JS trick available from his homenode too.
