Here is an example of where a stupid plugin API doesn't support everything that could be wanted--in this case, alpha channel wasn't supported. ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Return-Path: owner-png-implement@dworkin.wustl.edu Date: Tue, 23 Sep 1997 15:25:40 -0700 (PDT) To: png-implement@dworkin.wustl.edu Subject: Re: Basic WWW PNG info needed From: Greg Roelofs <newt@pobox.com> Sender: owner-png-implement@dworkin.wustl.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: PNG Implementation List <png-implement@dworkin.wustl.edu> [snip] Whether a plug-in gets invoked for OBJECT vs. EMBED *is* a browser issue. The plug-in doesn't even exist at the time the decision is made. Likewise for the alpha-channel stuff: if the browser doesn't provide the proper hooks, there's absolutely nothing the plug-in can do about it. [snip] ------- End of forwarded message -------
