Local Image Paths in HTML for Browser Widget Fails

[Mike Bonner]

2 possible options I can see.. either have a 2nd browser widget with that
page in it, and enable/disable hide/show or just move it out of the
screenrect..  Though it sounds like all you're doing is putting an animated
gif that you want to show during page load.   Can't you just pop it into an
image object, and then overlay it however you like on top of the browser
widget. hide/show/enable/disable as needed?
