Once I've retrieved the content of an image file (tif, jpeg ...), how can I display the resulting image of this file from the data in a dtml document? ( I don't want to store an image OBJECT in the container.)

Not sure I know what you mean, but I think your best bet is to store it in a temporary folder and then reference it there. If you have an image uploaded to some page, I suppose you could also write a script that you call in the context of the processing script/page that returns the contents of your REQUEST parameter holding the image. Something like:: if context.REQUEST.has_key('jpg_image'): img = context.REQUEST.jpg_image else: img = container.substitute_image.data return img # you may want to do str(img) If you've read the list for a few days, you've seen something very similar already. It would be used in the action of some form with an input type=file name=jpg_image like so:: <img src="the_above_script"> I haven't tried this, but I think it should work. --jcc

Hi Sir, I'm a little bit surprised, that you exclude ladys in your question. Nevertheless I try to answer because I had almost the same problem. I separated the images into extra dtml-documents an included them with the img tag (<img src="x.html">). The disadvantage of this approach is that in the point of view of http there is more than one document. Here is an excerpt of the code: Little document around the Image: <!-- $Id: thumbNailFrame.dtml $--> <dtml-var standard_html_header> <img src="<dtml-var "displayThumbnail(fileName, REQUEST, RESPONSE)">"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Document that includes the image: <img src="thumbNailFrame?fileName="emma.gif" alt="Emma" border="0"> Code for displaying the image: def displayThumbnail(self, fileName, REQUEST, RESPONSE): """ displayThumbnail """ content = self.readFile(fileName) # file i/o-operations are in another method RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'image/gif') RESPONSE.write(content) return Have a lot of fun with it, Ulla.
