Displaying Grahics from within container fields in IWP

[agutleben]

I have a calendar solution I am working on. I decided to play with IWP, which is new for me. Each DAY is a portal row that contains a couple graphic container fields. These fields show you active days for the month and the current day. I have inserted JPG images of the colors I need displayed in the container fields. All is perfect if I am running in FM, but when I open the layout in IWP, everything shows except what is in the container fields. Is there something I need to do to display the contents of a container field in IWP.

An additional note:

I did notice that these images show fine, if the container field is shown directly on the layout (bypassing the portal). I am beginning to focus on relationships and how they can affect what is displayed.

Thanks in advance!

I've seen this as well and if your solution lean up against something in the vicinity of this:

...will you notice that different browsers renders it differently, and nowhere near the desired. In JMO's template did i change the two container fields into calc'fields(text result) this is the white one:

TextFont ( TextColor ( "gg" ; RGB ( 255 ; 255 ; 255 ) ) ; "Webdings" )

On the layout are all occurences of the modified fields sized to 80 cicero...

There even some benefits with this approach, since nothing graphic is send over the connection, will the local font def's be used and the view renders much faster than if jpegs were used.

But be prepaired, a lot of tinkering is required in order to get it working.
