Array? well, you need a base64 string. I'm not sure what format your
array is, but I bet changing it into a string shouldn't be too hard.

<img
src="data:image/png;base64,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";>

where "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" is the base64-encoded image content.
Of course it will fail in MSIE if the data: URL is longer than 256
chars (and for anything bigger than a few pixels, it will), so better
look for alternate solutions for it (probably there is some ActiveX
control that can do it - Not a 'correct' way but a working one :)
