For a variety of unpleasant reasons, I need to display an image in a web
page where the image is stored in the HTML file (not in a separate GIF or
JPG or whatever file).  Small image, no more than 5k or so.

It's acceptable to have the images only show up if the user is running MSIE
5 or MSIE 6 or whatever I have to require.

It just seems to me, that with all the cool stuff .NET can do, there should
be some way for me to say :
<SCRIPT>
makeImage()
{
   return ASP.NET.CreateImage("0034234A5E0E8796857823085485");
}
</SCRIPT>
<IMG SRC="script:makeImage()">

Thanks all!
Chris
