Local Image Paths in HTML for Browser Widget Fails

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

@ Mike… thanks…

duh! (as he slaps himself on the side of the head)  I was mixing up the props 

the htmltext # with
the url

this is all static content so all that was needed was, 

assets
   /info
      web-loading.html

    <div class="container">
<img src="../img/global-icons/ajax_loader_big.gif" width="128" height="128" alt="ajax_loader_big">
</div> 

and then this

command setWebURL
   put path_Assets() & "info/web-loading.html" into tLocalPath
   set the uirl of widget "body"  to tLocalPath 
end setWebURL


"of course"

@ HH, thanks for the base64 method… I can use that in other instances.

@ All, this really doesn’t get me what I want though, because as soon as we set the URL of the browser widget to the intended remote web page, our local page is of course "disconnected" the loader image is gone and the user is *still* staring at a blank screen waiting.

I must have been working too late and didn't see either of these to things, which, are of course obvious.  I'll start another thread on loading web pages/user notifications.

    Then load the file as a url appearing like so..
    
    "file:///path/to/your/html/file/myfile.html"
    
    At this point the browser widget has a path location so any relative
    addressing should work.
