You can address the inlined images of Mosaic in such a way - I think
there was one answer to this.
The good one is: No image data has to be transfered.
The bad one: Whats with other browsers ?
Because of that the question about standard is right. Because of that
I put my question about such thinks here again:
To the www gurus:
I see some nive icons in Mosaic (inlined icons), but have no way to refer
to them from my documents. I mean such as for ftp or gopher URLs.
It would save much traffic over the lines if we could have a
standard set of icons on the client site I could refer from the server site
(I will say from the documents on a server).
My vote:
<IMG SRC=/INLINE/icon01.gif>
The path component INLINE is reserved to be interpreted by the clients.
If client found INLINE the next component is interpreted as one of
a welldefined set of icons - nothing to transfer.
If the client hasn't this feature he could transfer as till now.
Because of that the server should have these "Standard-Icons" in the
INLINE directory too.
Could this be a area of standardization? - It would be so nice.
It could also help to get a "real" WWW look and feel ...
