Hi,

I'm creating html on the fly and just using the SWT browser setText
method. I want to include gifs from my plugin in the html e.g.

<img src=\"icons/sample.gif\"/>

I've tried loads of variations of this e.g.

"../icons/sample.gif"
"file://icons/sample.gif"
"file://../icons/sample.gif"

but I have not been able to get anything working yet.

Anyone know how to do this or an alterative?

cheers

David Black

Hi David,

See snippet "render HTML that includes relative links from memory". You need
to set a base tag - or specify the full path to your image every time.
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet137.java?rev=HEAD& amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Let us know if you need more details,
Chris

thanks Chris, so my base href for a gif in myplugin/icons (or is there a
better / more correct place to put these?) would be what? I'm wondering
is there a relative path to the gif? ... or am I going about this in the
wrong? Is it that I should interrogate eclipse to see where the plugin
resides in the directory tree and make up the base path that way?

cheers
David

Yes. That's what I did for the plugin
org.eclipse.swt.examples.browser.demos. This plugin is part of the Eclipse
CVS and available in the Eclipse Example plug-ins on the download page. This
plugin contains subfolders css1, css2 etc. that contain the stylesheet, gif
and other required image files for each theme used by the plugin.
I get the plugin path through Eclipse API. Then add the particular subfolder
(css1, css2 ...) that contains my cascading style sheet and images.

In my class that extends AbstractUIPlugin I get the PLUGIN_PATH as in below.

public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
super.start(context);
PLUGIN_PATH =
Platform.resolve(plugin.getBundle().getEntry(".")).toString();
}

I then build absolute paths like:
static String CSS_FOLDER = "css2";
static String URL_CSS = PLUGIN_PATH+CSS_FOLDER+"/style.css";
static String URL_WELCOME =PLUGIN_PATH+CSS_FOLDER+"/welcome.html";

before using it to generate HTML:
html = "<html><header><link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"
href=\""+URL_CSS+"\"></header><body><div class=\"board\"><table><tbody>";
....
browser.setText(html);


Details on how to get this plugin:
Go to the regular Eclipse download page (e.g. from the Main Eclipse download
site)
section: "Example Plug-ins"
SWT Browser examples are available in either Windows or "All Other
Platforms" downloads - so it does not matter which one you take.

Follow instructions in that section.
Then you can see the Browser plugins from:
Windows > Show View > Others > SWT Examples > Browser Demo
or the other one:
Windows > Show View > Others > SWT Examples > Web Browser
