Displaying banner ads in filemaker

I have a solution I will be selling as a stand alone application.

Part of it involves a section of the app to display images - somewhat like banner ads, and have them linked to the website associated with it.

I know I can accomplish this via the web viewer and doing some scripting to get a random image served each time... however, I cannot figure out how to get the webviewer box to go away and just show the image - if there is a way to kill the boundary of the viewer, I think that will work for me.

If you have any other suggestions for approach what would be essentially a clickable banner ad, that pulls the ads from a web location, Im open to ideas.

...there is a way to kill the boundary of the viewer...

The boundary of the viewer can be killed ( I think that you are on windows ).

Which is your actual code for the WebViewer ?

Yes I am on a windows machine doing the development - but the solution will be cross platform.

In the webviewer, Im simply pointing it to a url jpg location: for example: http://www.magicvault.net/1.jpg to test.

I plan on scripting the 1.jpg to randomize among a dozen or so images - which each will be linked to a different site, but for now, its not pulling any html code, just the jpg

If the source URL is always an image, you could use the <img> tag and the code will be:

"data:text/html,

<body style='border:0; margin:0'>

<img src='

" & WV no borders::URL & "

'width='100%'height='100%'>

</body>"
