You should try it out to see how it works : http://phenxdesign.net/projects/phenx-web/iedatauri/example.php The source is here : http://code.google.com/p/phenx-web/source/browse/trunk/iedatauri You only need to include a JS and have the PHP script on your server. The only limitation for now if the data URI size: not more than 2048 bytes, but I already have ideas to make it work with more data. Any suggestion welcome ;) I worked recently on another way of fixing this lack in IE 6+ : it looks for img, anchors, and any tag that has links to external resources, it works also for stylesheets and inline background image urls and changes it to an url to the server side script with the data passed via GET.

In http://phpied.com is described very well. What I'm working about is a site with too many images. The inline representation of them is not well understood. I think most web developers just put their images with http request in the src attribute. Actually what I see is the misunderstanding of the case. I found that artice describing very well when and why you should use base64: http://www.stoimen.com/blog/2009/04/23/when-you-should-use-base64-for-images/ Well there is a solution with that mhtml.

On top of it I'd just have a separate css with conditional comments targeting ie<8 so that browsers supporting base64 images won't be punished. Are there any constraints with the mhtml: for instance same domain policy etc? I’d rather use rasmusfl0e’s solution since it does not rely on browser sniffing.
