I'm trying to send some local html to the browser widget to display a local
loading GIF until the page "comes down" from the cloud. This needs to work on
mobile too.
the directory structure
main app folder
/assets
/img
/global-icons
ajax_loader_big.gif"
/info
web-loading.html
views
view_Browser.livecode # Card 1 has the browser widget…
I have this in the preopenstack handler
setWebURL
command setWebURL
put path_Assets() & "info/web-loading.html" into tLocalPath
put url ("binfile://" & tLocalPath) into tLoader
put path_Assets() & "img/global-icons/ajax_loader_big.gif" into imgPath
replace "##IMAGE-PATH##" with imgPath in tLoader
set the htmlText of widget "body" to tLoader # html is set, but img
not found
put tLoader # let's see what we are getting..
end setWebURL
path_Assets() function returns the specialFolderPath("resources") & "assets/"
it is working for the html itself, but inside html both of these fail
# full URL from "root" which would translate correctly on mobile to the app
package…
<img
src="/Users/Brahmanathaswami/Documents/_Siva-Siva-App/assets/img/global-icons/ajax_loader_big.gif"
width="128" height="128" alt="ajax_loader_big">
# I manually tried a relative path
<div class="container">
<img src="../assets/img/global-icons/ajax_loader_big.gif" width="128"
height="128" alt="ajax_loader_big">
</div>
The html is found because we see in the browser widget the broken image icon
with the name "ajax_loader_big" so the path function works, html is set as
expected, but the browser widget can't find the image locally.
I can "proof" this locally by moving a copy of web-loading.html into the same
folder as the stack..
drag and drop onto a browser from that location, which is the same location as
the stack with the browser widget…
both of these work
src="/Users/Brahmanathaswami/Documents/_Siva-Siva-App/assets/img/global-icons/ajax_loader_big.gif"
src="../assets/img/global-icons/ajax_loader_big.gif"
I could have sworn I had this working last year, but not today. At that time
we were working right in the same directory… so I tried this:
views
/img
ajax_loader_big.gif
view_Browser.livecode
web-loading.html
src="img/ajax_loader_big.gif" in the html for the browser widget but it still
can't find it
What am I missing? Why can't the browser widget find the image?
