How do I embed a link in an image?

How do you embed an image into HTML source?

  • I'll be more clear. I do not want to use the standard img src to link to the image file. I want to embed the image file as data in the HTML so that no external files must be used.

  • Answer:

    if you are talking about ascii images you need to create those by hand. Standard GIF and JPEG images (and the other types) cannot be "embedded" in HTML using the HTML standard. Some browsers may be able to do funky things, but you cannot include binary data in standard text html, its a simple problem of MIME types.

That's not how HTML works. HTML is just text - you can't embed anything in it. You can only link. EDIT Ok Einstein, you've got ten people telling you that it either can't be done or there's no reason to. Now's the time to either research it yourself or stfu.

Other than the old trick of creating an image using standard characters, you are pretty much out of luck. Even if this was possible, I can think of half a dozen reasons why you would not want to do it.

You would have to use javascript to draw the image. It could be done, but yuck!

You can use CSS with divs to create simple images. Think of them like tanagrams. Here is an example: http://www.superflippy.net/temp/slanty2.html
