Try right-click-view-the-image - I love webservers, that know what you should get. Our Intermedia server suite analyzes the http-accept header in the request and decides what content actually goes out. Works like a charm.

With the Intermedia Web Image software suite we introduced a method we call javascript bootloading to inject interactive content into a web page. As well as with flash, the host page is totally agnostic to the embedded content. To advance this a bit, there is even a special closure layer to secure the embedded content from the host page. The bootloading is quite reliable and is positively tested in all major browsers. See this example: Just a single line of code in the host page (a simple script statement) invokes the bootloading process: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://intermedia.pixelboxx.com/demo/boot/a8OQ_IrDJMJDYfZL/hovergallery"></script> The...

But it is somewhat limited in its ability to talk to a web server. The URL points to a ressource, that hopefully resolve to an image file, the browser understands. But in this communication, there is no space for the additional information, the browser reads from the tag as well: width and height modifications according to percent values or inherited by style information. With our new product Intermedia, we introduced a new attribute to this tag, which we called xim. xim takes some more freely formulated instructions for sizing the image, recalculates the URL according to this new information and exchanges the image on the fly. xim="width:parent" xim="width:500;height:parent-200" xim="width:50%" xim="width:#myid" Of... Pixelbloxx ska pixel Copyright © 2010 ska 2010-06-18T09:41:56Z http://blog.pixelboxx.com/ska/stories/171/ The last months had been a blaze! Launching a new product always involves way more tasks, duties and ideas than expected. And of course the deadline rush is accompagnied by some inspiration that only comes up with just about the right amount of adrenaline, despair, enthusiasm, and sweat. Mostly these inspirations happen between 02:00 and 05:17. When every sane person is sound asleep. Starting tomorrow, our software starts a public demo, where everybody can download a copy of the products demo and hopefully give loads and loads of feedback. I would be delighted to see that happen. Pixelbloxx ska Gadgeteria Copyright © 2010 ska 2010-06-10T15:45:55Z http://blog.pixelboxx.com/ska/stories/169/ The übertech blog TechCrunch interviewed Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch. Kevin proclaimed a strong dedication to HTML5, which somewhat would weaken the position of Air and Flash in the general web. Now that HTML5 now seems to be the next best thing since sliced bread, I sincerely hope, that this new enthusiasm doesn't stop, as soon as Apple discovers, that there will be a lot hotter competition for i-based products. It's now down to discussion the video codecs supported in HTML5 from the major browser vendors. I keep my finger crossed for an open (to all) solution.

What if This source code would actually work and deliver a rotated and rightly scaled image for every image you had on the server, just by prepending "/demo/" to its URL? function demo_handler () { var ds = app.data.dataSource; return { imageId : res.data.pArr[1], transformations : [ ds.pixelProcessor ({'scale' : { 'xsize' : 200, 'ysize' : 200 }}), ds.pixelProcessor ({'rotation' : { 'angle' :45 }}) ], mimetype : 'image/png' }; } Pixelbloxx ska pixel Copyright © 2010 ska 2010-04-27T08:58:50Z http://blog.pixelboxx.com/ska/stories/167/ True enough, but in the last moths I had been completely burried under the planning and execution of the new product we will launch soon at Pixelboxx.
