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 htmltext of the widget or text of the file "flower2b.html": <html><body><img src='flower2b.png' width='80' height='60'></body></html> But it works if you set the URL of the widget to a (local) html-file that has exactly this text as html (if 'flower.png' is in the same folder). *** Then the htmltext of the widget is 'anchored' in the local file system and can use a full or relative path. BTW. To display an image "/home/jh/images/flower.png" from disk in a field for example at size 80x60 at char 42: 1. create an img "i1" 2. set the filename of img "i1" to "/home/jh/images/flower.png" 3. set the width of img "i1" to 80; set the height of img "i1" to 60 4. set the imagesource of char 42 of fld 1 to "i1" > James H. wrote: > > hh wrote: > > ...
