Help Page - What is Low Source?


Low Source is a code that works, at present, only with the later Netscape releases. It allows an image of small filesize (therefore, inferior quality) to load in the place the higher quality image will load when loading is finished. This will present your visitors using Netscape a page that may be read and viewed in full while the high quality graphics complete loading.

Assume the image file you are using is named "file.ext," and it has a height of 200 pixels and a width of 150 pixels. Your html, without using "Low Source," would be as follows:

<img src="file.ext" height=200 width=150>


Now, let's assume you have the same image, but you also have a reduced quality & filesize, but otherwise identical, image which you have saved as "filelo.ext." Your html, using "Low Source," would be as follows:

<img src="file.ext" height=200 width=150 lowsrc="filelo.ext">


That's all there is to it!!! If you don't use Netscape, this is still a valuable tool, as it will greatly increase the visibility of your pages for all newer version Netscape viewers!!!
