Hi guys,

I was thinking.. wouldn't it be cool if you could take an image (jpeg) and
redraw the entire thing in HTML ? In theory you could parse the image to
create an array containing the RGB value for every pixel and then print this
out as a series of 1 pixel wide DIV's with the background color set to the
pixel colour.

I realise this would result in a massive document (likely several mb) with
millions of layers, but has anyone ever tried something like this ? I know
you can get programs to convert jpeg to ascii art, so I can't be too far off
in my thinking..

Regards,
Chris
