Mime-type Links

[edit] Mime-types

Each of these is the name of the class to make a link with a background image for that mime-type

For example

<a class="application-pdf" href="somthing.pdf">application-pdf</a>

will produce

See a listing of all current mime types here.

If a mime type is missing that you need, to add it to the collection we need a couple of things:

• The mime type name
• small image to use

All of the mime type images we have so far have come from:

• Tango Icons, under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license
• Silk Icons, under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License

So please check these sites first.
If you can't find a image, feel free to look around elsewhere. But we need the image to be free of copyright issues.

[edit] IE 6 Rendering Bug

In IE 6 there is a bug: If the link with the mimetype background image is automatically wrapped to the next line it goes away.

For example:

The first example shows the problem. The second and third examples are ways to fix things. The first fix is to manually add a <br /> tag. The second is to change the wording.
