RE: HTML Text and Images
Andre, Thanks again for your input here. Jim Ault's suggestion is working well; that I create an image, set its filename to the image's URL to get the image's height and width and then delete the image. The only thing I'm really unable to do now is resize images. I'm not sure how I would do that going the browser route so I might just stick with the htmlText route. If worse comes to worse I can always just keep the image I create to get the dimensions, resize it and use it instead.

Ray, You need to set it to some place where the compound assembly of the defaultfolder + your imagesource value actually resolves to a real file. So if you have the following imagesource set: ETS Items/ETS Item Bank/ETS10Q1/01 Full Bank/06 Math QTI 0with GUIDs and 96dpi PNG/Grade 06Math-49/images/mml2504101.png And that ETS Items is located at ~/Desktop/Rays App/ so that the actuall file path is: ~/Desktop/Rays App/ETS Items/ETS Item Bank/ETS10Q1/01 Full Bank/06 Math QTI 0with GUIDs and 96dpi PNG/Grade 06Math-49/images/mml2504101.png Then you just need to set the defaultfolder to ~/Desktop/Rays App/ Image source has three possible resolutions: (1) The image is inside revolution since imagesource value is an ID or image name. Just figure out what image is and use it (2) The image is a remote resource since we're given an fully qualified URL. Load it from the server (3) Image is a file on disk, see if it is a full path or relative path to our defaultfolder and solve it. I actually think that cases (2) and (3) are actually the same. I don't know if you can simply pass a path without the binfile protocol in it. Try changing your source to something like: binfile:ETS Items/ETS Item Bank/ETS10Q1/01 Full Bank/06 Math QTI 0with GUIDs and 96dpi PNG/Grade 06Math-49/images/mml2504101.png Remember the relative folder, if possible, always use full paths by figuring out the path before assembling the HTMLText chunk and replacing the variables.

Andre, This is really quite helpful. Thanks for your time on this! I'll study this further and do some experimenting and let you know how it goes.

Re: HTML Text
Warren and Stephen, If you really want just the text, put fld yourfield into fld yourfield after setting the htmlText. Might sound weird, but it works. If you want to make it look clever and elegant, set the lockScreen to true while doing this. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer We make software, websites and webware.
