BMP not displaying as image in img tags
Bit unusual - check out the following link:
On my 1.2.21 forum, it does not render the image - just the URL, even though it is correctly enclosed by img tags. Is this because it is a BMP file?
Browser is Firefox - it's not rendering here for me either.

Re: BMP not displaying as image in img tags
For one, the server is sending it as JPEG.
And why on earth would you use BMP?

Re: BMP not displaying as image in img tags
Not me - someone posted this link into my forum. Was curious as to why it wouldn't render.

Re: BMP not displaying as image in img tags
The image is actually a jpeg not a bmp, if you download it and open with notepad you will notice it has a JFIF tag. I would imagine the reason it's not displaying within the image tag is something to do with it being corrupt.
Edit: Okay after testing a JPEG saved as BMP it worked fine so I guess it isn't that.
Edit 2: Download the file and uploaded it elsewhere and it's working even while saved as a bmp when it isn't:
My guess would be it's something to do with the setup of blogspot's servers.
Edit 3: When "right clicking -> save image" on Chrome it is downloading:
<html>
<head>
<title>where.bmp (image)</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (top.location != self.location) top.location = self.location;
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">
<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKYYcNXHAu4/SoU0ISa8qVI/AAAAAAAAAD0/Fqih8HJEoEs/s1600/where.bmp" alt="[where.bmp]" border=0>
</body>
</html>So obviously blogspot is doing something rather weird.

Re: BMP not displaying as image in img tags
Indeed: as Reines indicated, the correct URL is http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKYYcNXHAu4/S … /where.bmp
