I showed case an advanced html editor, a XSLT AIR library, a rich text editor and some more.

To drag an image into an element on the page, you have to respond to the event and call preventDefault() (even though the default behavior is to do nothing). At least that's my guess as to why you had difficulty dragging an image into HTML -- not having seen your code.

My test image was a logo, so it had a bit of white in it. The start image was 13kb, the start html was 320kb. The end html is 164kb. The biggest change happened without comparison. I broke the "width=1 height=1" out into a td style, so that it is only written once, which cuts out 20 characters per line, quite a bit when you get into a large image. That alone cut the size down to 196kb. Next I implemented a simple colspan checker, which compares the next pixel in the row to the current pixel. If the same, then it increments a variable, if not then it checks that variable to see if it should write a colspan into the td, and then writes the td. I can send you the code if you want it.

If you do work on refining the HTML generation, and you make any progress, please do report back here and let me know so I can follow up. It stands to reason that additional inspection of the image could also result in rowspan groupings. I wonder where the tradeoff between analyzing the pixels and presenting the table would be... Regards, Kevin Ross,

An interesting thought, though. You could check contiguous pixels for similar colors and make the table with colspan's to drastically reduce the file size. I may look into this myself, see how small of a table I can make. This is very nice. An interesting thought, though.
