Logo on JavaScript Form

[Michael Matthews]

Hello Reg,

I put images only JS forms by doing this:

Add a field of type : Background Control

Then in the $property called $imagepath I enter 'images/sqlworks_images/SQLWorks3DCogsWide2010.png’

On my Mac OSX, in the FirstRunInstall folder that puts the stuff into Application Support folder, there is a folder called HTML.  This is the root folder for where the images come from.

Inside that folder is one called Images, and another for my own purposes.  And inside there is my Logo.

Hope that helps.

Mike

I used to have a picture field which had its $iconid pointing to an image page in #ICONS, but that isn't working in Studio 8.1.6 when testing the form on my Mac.  In the manual, it says "For backwards compatibility, the picture control can display an icon in an icon data file (Omnispic) or #ICONS by setting $iconid to a numeric icon ID."  In my opinion #ICONS is the perfect place to store the picture, so convenient right there in the library, but I don't want to use a feature that is marked for backward compatibility (and it's not working for me anyway!) so what it the handiest way to achive this?
