Setting image source at runtime

[Andy McMaster]

Hi,

I have a component which has a table, one column of which is a button.

Is there anyway I can change at runtime the image that is displayed? The URL currently points to: /ebasecontent/images/image1.gif

I want to be able to change that in certain circumstances when the form is initialised?

Thanks in advance.

Andy

According to the Ebase documentation:

Code: Select all

set BUTTONCOLUMN1.buttonProperties.backgroundImage = 'urlToImage';

According to the Ebase documentation:

Code: Select all

set BUTTONCOLUMN1.buttonProperties.backgroundImage = 'urlToImage';

I shall try that later. Thanks.

Can you point me to where that was in the documentation please?

And is this version dependant?

See URL's in my first reply.
This works in Ebase v4.

Perhaps you can try using a hyperlink fieldtype in combination with HTML presentation (properties of Fieldcolumn - Presentation) instead of a buttoncolumn. Apply a "On Click" event to start the specific FPL-script.

As a default value you can use a Ebase field containing the URL to image as (for example &&PATHTOIMAGE).

In your FPL you get something like this:

Code: Select all

set PATHTOIMAGE = '<img src="/ebasecontent/images/image2.gif" alt="image2" style="border&#58; 0;" />';

In this case you need to overide the CSS to remove the blue hyperlink border arround the image.

I hope my example is understandable.

In V3.4 you can do this (I think) by setting the URL for the image in the designer to be a && field variable e.g. &&IMAGELOC or possibly /ebasecontent/images/&&{IMAGELOC}.

Then set IMAGELOC at runtime.
