Another note and simplified question.... Is there a way I can get around the image objects function to return an html tag. I basically want to create a temporary raw image object that can be cached by the client that does NOT have the <img output, but DOES have to image.tag capabilities of resizing the image. This way I can call it as: <td width="20" height="20" background="/imageGenedByZopeWith20by20dims"> </td> Gonna have to write python to do this, no?

Of course it doesn't work, and I can make some guesses as to why, but I just wanted to know what the fundamental differences between calling an image object by specifying the url and specifying an image by having zope render it into the document with a <dtml-var >. Is there a way that I can access a resized image object from zope in the src=".../" method? Can I get this from the request or must I create temp objects from zope somewhere to access? The reason why I want to do this is to be able to resize a web interface by a session variable, and I can do it except for those pesky background images which are important to repeat, but needs to be resized to view correctly. Thanks in advance.
