Hi, I have a text field in which I display html. I am currently setting the htmltext of the field to the html I want to display and all works as expected. The context here is that I am displaying text content from an epub file. Before displaying this text I do a bit of cleaning up to account for some of the non supported tags and adjust the heading tags to get a more usable appearance. I would like to also account for those pages that may include an image. These are specified as normal <img src=…> tags where the link is to a local file (originally within the epub archive.) According to the dictionary LiveCode translates the source of the <img> tag to an "imagesource" which can be an "imageURL".
I have struck two problems. 1: if the imageURL is of the form "http://.…"; the image gets inserted. if the imageURL is of the form "file:/full_filepath" then nothing gets inserted. so the questions are a) can I have a local IRL as my image source? and b) what should the path be? So far I have tried the full path from the boot disk down to a relative path from my livecode stack. 2: As I mentioned, if the URL is a http type then I do get the image inserted into the field. However it covers existing text. My understanding is that the imagesource replaces a character but obviously the image size is ignored. How do I allow for the size of the image? In the files I have looked at that contain images the insertion is simple and the image sits alone on a line. Any pointers to either of these confusions would be appreciated.
