Correct img format for browser widget.

Sun Jul 16 10:20:23 EDT 2017

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 timageinfo

Put base64encode(timageinfo) into timageinfo 

Replace linefeed with empty in timageinfo

Then you follow the example in the stack for putting that base 64 image information into the SRC of the image.

Then you replace your old SRC with the new SRC in the htmltext.

Then you set the HTML text of your widget with the adjusted HTMLtext.

In this way you won't have to use JavaScript and it should display well.

If this does not work, let me know and I will write out the script.
