It appears to me that the way to use FMP generated HTML within an IWP web viewer is to use the "data:/about:" trick. This has been working great for me, until I needed to show an image in the viewer. I'd like the web viewer to reference a local image AND have this work within IWP. I'm guessing that using src="file:/// won't work and I'd rather not store the images on a separate web server. So I'd like to make a container field and use imagemac: to reference the file in the file system, then load that image into the web viewer in a way that works in IWP. Has anyone accomplished this, and if so, how?

you could create another calc field that would contain domain path in it....so src would be :

my_src='http:domain.comimages'

container_img_name='imge_name.jpg'

full_src= my_src & container_img_name

so you would use container_img_name field for preview of image while creating a link to full_src field in order to cfreate a 'pop-up' effect when viewing images....

but it depends on your entire setup if this would work on public and internal access....

All the best!

I didn't want the images to reside on a web server per se (other than Filemaker's IWP serving the images from a container field). But I'm guessing that that just isn't possible, so I'll have to place the images on a web server somewhere.

only way to do this is with a base64 image stored in a text field but its a lot of work just to convert the image and not very user friendly.

Might want to look at this solution:
