You're not missing anything. That is exactly the expected behaviour. You
can call graphic.php with GET variables if you need to pass information
on, but you can't put images inline like that except for with data:
URIs.
data: URIs are currently only supported by Gecko browsers (Mozilla,
Firefox, etc) and maybe Safari or Opera (not sure about the latter two).
Do a search for "data: URI RFC" or similar to find out about them.
