Yes I could stream an image from my CGI, but I can't
figure out how to do that with thumbnails embedded
in an HTML table.
For example:
<table>
<tr><td><a href="/inv/imgs/pic1.jpg" target="img"><img
src="/inv/imgs/pic1_small.jpg"></a>checkbox, description etc.<td>
</td></td></tr>
<tr><td><a href="/inv/imgs/pic2.jpg" target="img"><img
src="/inv/imgs/pic2_small.jpg"></a>checkbox, description etc.<td>
</td></td></tr>
<tr><td><a href="/inv/imgs/pic3.jpg" target="img"><img
src="/inv/imgs/pic3_small.jpg"></a>checkbox, description etc.<td>
</td></td></tr>
</table>
You can't stream individual components of a page at once,
right?
I guess I could write a separate CGI app to stream each image
on demand as part of the HREF, but that seems like an awful
extra load to call a CGI for each image. Just hoped there might
be a better solution.
By the way, the server is Xitami 2.4d9, running on Win2k Pro.
App is developed with Delphi 5.
