Hi Everyone,

I just want to know if it is possible to store an image/sound (or link to) in an XML file.

Basically, I want to add an image my XML file which appears as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Questions>
    <Question>
        <quest>Which continent is coloured red?</quest>
    <option>ÇÝÑíÞíÇ
    </option>
    <option>ÇæÑÈÇ
    </option>
    <option>ÇãÑíßíÇ ÇáÌäæÈí
    </option>
    <option>ÇãÑíßíÇ ÇáÔãÇáí
    </option>
    <eng>Africa
    </eng>
    <eng>Europe
    </eng>
    <eng>South America
    </eng>
    <eng>North America
    </eng>
    <ans>Africa
    </ans>
    </Question>
</Questions>


Thanks

Not directly, not sure why you need to though, surely the XML is not going to be read directly but transformed to another format? You can therefore just store the image path. If you have to store the actual binary data then you'll need to encode it, base 64 is a common choice, as not all characters are allowed in XML.

I am creating a multiple choice quiz, with the questions and their associated answers being taken from an XML file. However i want some of the questions to have either a graphic or a sound associated with them.

Fine, so store the path to the image in the XML, ready for use in an HTML img element.

That answer was staring me straight in the face. Apologies for my incompetence, i'm new to all of this.
