displaying imported images from within htmltext

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Viktoras,

Mark told you about using the imageSource property.
As for me I don't like too much to use it: even if it works, it  
sounds like a workaround:
You display an image but it is referenced by a char.
When building lists, for instance, you have to plan fake chars then  
set their imageSource, etc.
This does not sound good to me ;-)

I prefer the way building correct html at first :-)
Just as you thought of.

Here is an example of a function that builds a list of usernames with  
a specific icon in front of each username according to the fact that  
its account is password protected or not (to give you the idea):

function BuildUsersHtmlList pArray
   local tHtml,tID
   -----
    repeat with i = 1 to pArray["length"]
     if pArray["Data",i,"uPassword"] = empty then put 60079 into tID
     else put 60080 into tID
     put "<p><img src=" & quote & tID & quote & ">" && pArray 
["Data",i,"uName"] & "</p>" & cr after tHtml
   end repeat
   delete last char of tHtml
   return tHtml
end BuildUsersHtmlList

tID is a variable that contains the ID of an image: this image can be  
in the current stack or in any open stack (visible or not).
Note how the html is built using quotes and concatenating text and  
variables values.

On the other hand, my "Encoded Text Picker" plugin might help you:
It's an HTML and URLencode translator:

Ability to translate both to and from HTML and/or URLEncode.
Integrated search and replace features (including tab and return.)
Ability to determine text style and color, include images. Copy  
function.
Playing with it should make html easier ;-)

Hope this helps.
