I think I followed Alex’s command, and did just that in the end for what I was trying to do.
Clever bugger is that Alex, and wise :)

hi Mike.
thanks for the hint. I had aa look at past references to $setdataURL ans tried it our with mime type of ’text/html’ …. but no luck.
Alex Clay kept on falling back to write it as a file, so I’m reorganizing code a little at the moment for.a quick and dirty save to file.
If anybody else has the secret, love to hear of it.

Hello Doug,
I remember something like this, but not sure. What does the runtime method called $setdataurl do? Otherwise I’m not sure.
But I have struggled and succeed with some base64 stuff from the Remote Form RTF object (jsRich), where you can embed graphics into a writing field using the Quill code. Now I can pull out those images and save them to disk.
Thanks to Mike Motter for that help in 2019.

I’m sure somebody has done this, so I’m looking for a quick hint.
I have a field that contains a full web page. lets call it MYDATA
I want to get oBrowser to display that full web page without writing the contents to a file and thne displaying it.
i.e. I know I can
1) write the contents of MYDATA to a file
2) give $urlorcontrolname the path name to the file and it will display
I’m hoping there is a way to simply give oBrowser the contents of MYDATA and show the web page.
anybody done that. (and willing to share the code shortcut).
thanks in advance.
