Hello, For a bit of fun I am currently writing an implementation of a monochrome baseline DCT JPEG encoder in JavaScript. I am currently using the IJG DCT implementation and the standard quantization and Huffman tables described in ITU-T.81. However the resultant images don't appear correct, I feel that this is because the information I've found relating to entropy coding is unclear and varies. I was hoping somebody could provide me with some test cases and correct results. Regards, Max

Hopefully this will be enough to narrow down the source of the problem. Also here is a link to the current version of my code: http://www.insightrepair.com/max/jpeg/ I am only certain that this will work in Firefox as there are several Firefox-specific features used in the JavaScript. The left picture is the input (converted from PPM to BMP) and the right picture is the output of the JPEG encoding. Please let me know if these results are indicative of a common problem with writing a JPEG encoder.
