Re: Correct img format for browser widget.

Thank you so much Hermann and Jonathan It took me a little time but I worked out what to do after looking at your suggestions. The fact that setting the htmltext of the browser widget breaks the img URL's makes sense from a security and logical point of view. I then tried Jonathan's technique

Check in your script editor window under the Edit Sub-menu and look to see if "variable checking" is checked. That means that you need to declare any variables before you can use them. If you uncheck this, LiveCode will not require you to declare variables. Some people don't use variable checking

James - if you look at the example stack on LiveCode share "browser widget image manipulator" it has some LC code for creating a dataURl for an image. Use that to create the data URL for the image. Basically: Get the image info from the image file like this: Put URL "binfile:imagepath" into

Re: Correct img format for browser widget.

So - thinking about this dime more - the browser widget uses a dummy URL if not told to load a specific URL, and the dummy URL would not have permission to access local drives, for security reasons. That would mean the "file:///" prefix would not work either. So he would have to either save

Re: Correct img format for browser widget.

One other solution... You can convert the image source to a data URL. You can construct the htmltext for the dataurl in LC, and replace the current image SRC information with dataURL SRC information. Then, when you set the htmltext of the browser widget, the images will show up without needing

Hi James, Can you post an example of your actual filepath? With HTML, the first part of the path to the local disk usually looks like this: "file:///C:/users/pictures/mypicture.png" LC should be able to give you the right full path to a document- but make sure to try using the "file:///"

Re: Correct img format for browser widget.

You can have that without a (local) server when using a browser widget. Although you can NOT display an image from disk without javascript by only setting the htmltext with a correct filepath, for example as follows. (This is a browser engine thing, can not be influenced by the widget.) Example
