put the full url of the image, see if it displays then

I'm doing this to display a single image/pdf document in an A5W page.
From a button in a UX, the following is called from the OnClick event.
{DocFilename} is the path of the document I want to view stored in a text box on the UX.

This is in the A5W page:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<%a5
'THIS IS THE ONLY CODE THAT SHOULD EXIST IN THIS FILE
'ANY OTHER CODE WILL CORRUPT THE STREAM
'SET HEADERS, PRINT BINARY DATA, END (end is a keyword to kill the script)
'Hard to explain, but Sometimes if you use a response.sendfile() or
'other methods of sending content to the browser or finishing a request
'the response is intended to end
'Sometimes it does not and your code will fall through to the code below
'In this particular case, end is unnecessary, but i always use it when using Response.
'SendFile or after sending redirections, working with response headers 'etc.
'the end is to stop fallthrough, I can explain more if needed,
'but just know that it is good practice in certain scenarios (this being one)
'mime_type application/pdf, image/jpeg, image/png, image/gif for different file types

'un-comment the next line for testing, make sure it's a valid file name
'Doc = "C:\Users\Ron\Desktop\Salvage N170JS.pdf"
Doc_Type = remspecial(right(rtrim(Doc),4))

select
    case Doc_Type = "pdf"
        vtype = "application/pdf"
    case Doc_Type = "png"
        vtype = "image/png"
    case Doc_Type = "jpeg"
        vtype = "image/jpeg"    
    case Doc_Type = "gif"
        vtype = "image/gif"
    case else
        end
end select

Response.mime_type = vtype
?file.to_blob(Doc)
end
%>

Yeah, I have been playing around with that without any luck Charles. The image is on the IIS server, but I might move it to a file server instead and try to link to it that way and see what happens.

Boy, sometimes what you think should be the simplest of things, I tell ya

it's probably just as easy as you think it should be unless the folder or the file has security issues imposed by the server. have you published it and used dev tools to see whats going on?

I played around with this for the better part of 2 days and was not able to get it working using Ron's method either.

The farthest I was able to get was by putting the image on a file server and using an <img> tag defined as file://///servername/share/Alpha5/image.jpg
This would work for me in Live Preview but not when published to the server.

I ended up putting the image in a panel card on a UX. Then I added the UX to an a5w page using "Insert component into an .A5W page"
Oh well, at least it works, though it seems overkill for a page with just one image on it, LOL.

Where in your project file is the image ?

**iRadiate** · 09-02-2022, 09:28 AM

I tried in multiple locations, on the IIS server, on a separate file server, in my project files.
Right now, as it is working, it is in the project files and then added to a UX component.

Back to KISS (don't be offended).
Try the simple approach.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>

<img src="Not Authorized.jpg” style="width:px;height:px">
    </body>
</html>

**Sarah Mitchell** · 09-02-2022, 12:50 PM

Is your image name "NotAuthroized.jpg" or "Not_Authorized.jpg". Also, is it stored in the same location as your .a5w page or nested in a subfolder?
