How to fire pixel 2

[spicymango]

How do we fire a pixel. My understanding is whatever you put in

<script> tags
<img tags
<iframe> tags

get executed. So we can fire pixel by doing

<img src="

http://www.mysite.com/images/bug.jpg"

>
OR
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="

http://www.mysite.com/images/bug.jpg"

</script>

OR
<iframe>src ="

http://www.html_intro.php?P=1"</iframe>

OR
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="

http://www.html_intro.php?P=1"

</script>

Are above example correct? Are there other tags as well?

What on earth is 'firing a pixel'?

You clearly need to clarify your requirements. Perhaps you want to load an image? Perhaps you want to load content from a web server?

If the former, then use an IMG tag or request a background image via CSS.

If the latter, then use either of the above, or an iframe or AJAX (or a SCRIPT element if it's JS you want to retrieve).

If none of these, then you need to clarify your requirements, as 'firing a pixel' is not familiar terminology whatsoever.

Hi

If you want free-form graphics, use a library like JavaScript VectorGraphics or jsDraw2D, or just draw it yourself on a [tt]canvas[/tt].

Thanks for your replies.
What is the whole concept of pixel. Its is basiaccly for tracking purpose right?

Lets suppose we are using an image. We send a request to server to send the image. And in doing so server tracks what page was hit.

Alternative names are Web beacon, tracking bug, tracking pixel, pixel tag, 1×1 gif, and clear gif.
