Data URI scheme and Internet Explorer 9 Errors

by

Data URIs cannot be used for navigation, for scripting, or to populate frame or iframe elements in IE.

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc848897%28v=vs.85%29.aspx:

Data URIs are supported only for the following elements and/or
attributes.

object (images only)
img
input type=image
link
CSS declarations that accept a URL, such as background, backgroundImage, and so on.

Data URIs can be nested.

For security reasons, data URIs are restricted to downloaded
resources. Data URIs cannot be used for navigation, for scripting, or
to populate frame or iframe elements.

Data URIs cannot be larger than 32,768 characters.

The resource data must be properly encoded; otherwise, an error occurs
and the resource is not loaded. The “#” and “%” characters must be
encoded, as well as control characters, non-US ASCII characters, and
multibyte characters.

For more information, see RFC2397: The “data” URL scheme.

Available as of Windows Internet Explorer 8 or later.**
