Actually I am not loading a file from a server, I am setting the htmltext of the widget. The file I am loading is actually a markdown which I convert to xhtml using mergMarkdownToXHTML. I then set the htmltext of the widget to this converted content. Now the text etc all display fine as I would expect, however the images don't. The image tags in the markdown are correctly converted to <img src="..."> but obviously the path to the image file is not being correctly interpreted by LC. If I was to display this in a text field (by setting its htmltext) I would need to change the img tag's src attribute to include the "binfile:/" prefix. When I do this the image displays as expected in the text field. However, this displays the images at the size they exist on disk. I notice the dictionary (which is using the browser widget) does not do this. It actually scales the images down where required. So I thought rather than set the htmltext of the field, let me set the htmltext of a browser widget. However none of the forms of the URL for the images that I have tried work. I do not know javascript and while I can sort of follow the logic behind the guide display in the dictionary I can't fathom how it actually works. It is taking the markdown, converting it the a form of html and it correctly shows the text and the images. I am trying to do this without the javascript.
