Displaying HTML pages

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Linda,

Actually, if a website is composed of simple HTML 4, the pictures should 
show up in the field. Perhaps they are hidden by lines with very small 
lineheights. Try setting the fixedLineHeight to false. Does that help?

You could use the revBrowser external to display websites in their own 
window inside a LiveCode stack. Just search for revBrowser in the 
LiveCode dictionary and start reading to find out how to implement this.

Hyperlinks in fields don't work by themselves. You could handle clicks 
on linkes with a linkedClick handler, e.g.

on linkClicked theLink
   launch URL theLink
end linkClicked

As LiveCode exists today (before the HTML5 version is completed), is there a way to display HTML/CSS pages with images from a file that is imported into the app? By imported, I mean files that are a part of the app that can be used when there is no Internet connection.
