Hi,
today i found out some browsers (at least Mozilla and IE) support the
<image> tag, its usage seems to be the same as for the <img> tag
(IMDB.com uses it for example). I did not find anything in the web so
far where this tag comes from (ok it's also a bit difficult to search
for this, since search engines all seem to ignore < or >), someone knows
more about this tag? I found some old reference that this tag at least
already existed in 1998 or 1999, but i did not find it in the HTML 4.0
nor 3.0 nor 2.0 spec from the W3C (took a quick look at those specs).
Was this maybe introduced during the old browser wars days?
Greetings

In our last episode, Frank Wein <mc************ ***@gmx.de> pronounced to
comp.infosystem s. www.authoring.html: today i found out some browsers (at least Mozilla and IE) support the
<image> tag,
Never heard of it. Can't find any reference to it either.
its usage seems to be the same as for the <img> tag
So what's the point?
Was this maybe introduced during the old browser wars days?
Possibly. It's certainly of no use to anyone, especially if it is
exactly the same as img.

It's an old feature:
"Thought you might like to know: All the browsers surveyed also support
another form of this element (which is not a part of ANY HTML standard.)
The string "IMAGE" can replace "IMG". Internet Explorer supports this
since version 1.0, Mosaic since at least 2.1, and Netscape since version
1.1."
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/ht...es/i/image.htm
Presumably some authors wrote <image> because that's how they remembered
the tag from some lessons or tutorials, or browser programmers just
thought that people _might_ write so.
(IMDB.com uses it for example).
That's bad practice: it gains nothing. And it even wastes two
characters. :-)
Browser vendors dare not drop support to it, since it just might be used
somewhere, and it really does not cost to supportit. But who knows -
after all, the expertlore about this tag may fade away, and then...

Ok, thanks for the info :).

When I click on the image form element
<INPUT type=image name=point src="map.png">
point.x and point.y values get submitted to the server
specifying where on the image I have clicked.
Is there any (simple) way to get ahold of that point.x and
point.y BEFORE they are sent to the server (and prevent
that from happening)? Ie. I just want the points where
someone clicks on an image and not interested in a submission
to the server.

Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to handle broken href image tags either by using
the html img tag or the asp:image server control? For example, if my src
attribute is broken, I would like to display an alternate image, ie one that
blends in with the background instead of the standard eye sore x.
I would imagine I could use the <asp:image> server controls events to check
the src and then change it if it is broken, i am just not clear...

I can view image. Other image files > 128K, image is not viewable - comes up

NOTE: x & y in asp:Image spec are distinct values - say 128 x 128 or 64 x 64

Hello!
I'm taking a file name from a database and using the <asp:imagetag in
GridView to show the image. However, some of the file names have
spaces in it and no matter what I do, for example:
<asp:Image runat=server ImageUrl=<%#
HttpUtility.HtmlDecode((Eval("WallpaperLink"))) %/>
It still displays the file as: bobs%20image. %20 keeps popping up.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
