Hi,
XSLT files generated by Microsoft InfoPath applied to an applicable XML file
produces quite decent HTML presentations. At least with Mozilla and, of
course, IE 6.0 the results look the same as the original form in InfoPath.
However, pictures which were included in an InfoPath form's RTF field
before, are encoded in XHTML and embedded in the XML file as follows:
<img style="WIDTH: 541px; HEIGHT: 330px" tabIndex="-1" height="330"
src="msoinline/a0d1f46db128488 6" width="541" v:shapes="_x000 0_i1025"
xd:inline="XXX. .XXX."
xmlns:xd="http://schemas.microso ft.com/office/infopath/2003"
xmlns:v="urn:v" ></img>
Whereas "XXX.XXX" represents the character encoded picture. The according
InfoPath XSLT, which produces XHTML out of the above nearly leaves the
embedded picture code untouched:
<img xmlns:v="urn:v" style="WIDTH: 541px; HEIGHT: 330px" tabIndex="-1"
height="330" src="msoinline/a0d1f46db128488 6" width="541"
v:shapes="_x000 0_i1025" xd:inline="XXX. .XXX."/>
This is XHTML syntax but for my knowledge the inline encoding of pictures is
not standard, isn't it? Even the IE 6.0 and Word do show empty pictures
only.
Does anyone know if embedded pictures will become a (W3C or Microsoft ;-)
standard in the future? Do the next version of IE and Word (e.g. WordML)
support
embedded pictures!?
Furthermore, does anyone know the format of the embedded picture encoding
InfoPath is using?
Thanks a lot for a short note!
