How to view local images in browser?

[addamroy 36]

I'm trying to load some local images in the browser window with HTML but I can't figure out the proper syntax...

 

I tried applicationfolder/images/image.jpg     but that doesn't do anything.

 

What is the proper syntax for this?  (It wouldn't work for me if I had to get the full local path to an image)

Fro file path replace "\" to "/"

 

Sample

That only works if every single user has the image on their desktop.  The images I'm trying to display are always in the same folder as the software (applicationfolder), so that absolute path won't really work for me as it would be different for everyone using it..

try

special folder and use Application

 

will use application folder and any other folder within

 

if not work then set path first in a variable

I tried that, both methods you stated.  Didn't work.

 

I used this directly, and set it as a variable, didn't work either way.

 

(application special folder)/images/image.jpg                

 

 

Any other ideas?

I think you are having problems because you are using "load html" command. Instead you should store your HTML to a file and load it with navigate command (for some reason "load html" won't load images, had this problem a while ago).

 

I've just tested this and it loads the HTML and it displays the image.

EDIT: here is a screenshot, since for some reason I wasn't able to paste the code here (I think that string that starts with file:... prevents that): https://db.tt/SUT5IlBN

 

Btw, if nothing works for you can still convert images to "base64" and embed them directly. Here is an example: http://www.techerator.com/2011/12/how-to-embed-images-directly-into-your-html/

set(#pic to b64, $plugin function("File Management.dll", "$image 2 base64", #fp pic), "Global")
