Or text/html-insert ...
I guess the main problem keeps coming back, is it a full HTML document,
or just a fragment... define it.... full documents can only be
inserted via IFRAME or FRAME(s)... only fragments can be inserted via
OBJECT...
I would really like to see this one happen, however, there is still one
thing not being supported:
OBJECT "image counter"
OBJECT "text counter"
Fall back text here right?
/OBJECT
/OBJECT
How can one dynamically create the fall back text? say for browers that
can display ALT text as popup baloons? Ie: An image based counter
should be able to place the count as a TEXT part such as ALT text... I
don't know if this will even be possible though... its awfully
complicated...
