Using one file that contains a collection of images (a 'sprite')
Whenatemplatethatcontainslotsofimagesismergedwithalargerecordset,themanyfilerequests
mayslowdowntheprocessofoutputgeneration.Onesolutionistocombinetheimagesintoasingle
imagefile(an'imagesprite')anddisplaythepartthatholdstheimage.Thisreducesthenumberoffile
requestsandcanimprovetheoutputspeedsignificantly.
Foranexplanationofhowtodothis,see"Creatingandusingimagesprites"onpage885.
Base64 encoded images
Toinsertabase64encodedimageintoatemplate,youneedtogototheSourceview,insertthe<img>
tagmanuallyandsetitsURL-thesrcattribute-tothebase64string,forexample:<img src-
c=""data:image/gif;base64,R0lGO...">.
Ifthebase64stringispresentinoneofyourdatafields,youcansetthesrcattributedynamically.For
instructionsseeHowtousethecapturedorselectedimageinatemplate.
