Using an IMG tag to execute a script...

[GregLanders]

Hello, I am using an image tag to execute a CF script like this:

<img src=&quot;abc.cfm&quot; width=0 height=0>

IE is nice and forgiving but NS4.x shows a broken image. My reason for trying this is, I want to be able to execute the ColdFusion from any file type, not just a .cfm file. Any suggestions on getting around the broken image NS4???

Thanks,
Greg

Hey Greg,

You just need to make sure the CF script is returning an image for NS to be happy.

Try this inside your script:

<CFCONTENT
TYPE=&quot;image/gif&quot;
DELETEFILE=&quot;NO&quot;
FILE=&quot;d:\spacer.gif&quot;>

You just need to put a transparent gif in the location specified by the &quot;file&quot; attribute. CF will execute the code in the script and return a gif which NS should be happy with.

Hope this helps,
GJ
