I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you, but maybe it doesn't work, because it still is a technology preview ?

but why is it so that it shows the images in online page but not offline? i.e. If I show the page "http://www.yahoo.com" it shows perfectly but if I save the same page in html format along with its all images, it shows everything except images???

I am stuck here with this!! please help!!

How do the links look like? What is current working directory?

[manojmka]

Current working directory is the directory where I am executing my project from! There are very funny things happening:
(1) It shows the online page perfectly.
(2) It does not show the offline images.
(3) It shows the images from some server in offline pages but that too only when I load the page with setHtml() function, not with load() function!!

How do I get it done??

Could you answer the questions, please?

• What does
  

  qDebug() << QDir::currentPath();

  qDebug() << QDir::currentPath();

  To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
  output?
• In saved HTML page, what do missing images have as img-elements src attribute?
  

  <img src="..."/>

Hi!

The current Path returns:
C:/HTMLViewer

The image source is:
"img1.jpg"

I am passing html/test.htm as path for url and img1.jpg is stored in html folder.

BTW: Image is displayed if I give the src as: ftp::///C:/HTMLViewer/html/img1.jpg but I don't want to specify absolute paths here.

Did you compile Qt with .jpg support?

I compiled QT with GIF support and I think that it is always compiled with jpg and mng support by default. I also told you that it is displaying images if I give the online location of images or the full absolute location with FTP.

So it was about current working directory after all. src="image.png" means that the image is searched from the current directory. I don't know if there is a possibility to set search paths or something, but presumably the images are shown once you launch the application from C:\HTMLViewer\html or you change it to src="html/image.png".

No, it does not work that way even.

No, it does not work that way even.

So, exactly what did you try? It might prove to be useful to be as detailed as possible. "My car does not work" is not very useful information to a car mechanic. Does it print any warnings to debug output (provided that you have QT += console)?

[manojmka]

Well, I think I tried to write in detail but may be you can tell me what details are you expecting?

I have already stated that:
(1) It shows the online page perfectly.
(2) It does not show the offline images.
(3) It shows the images from some server in offline pages but that too only when I load the page with setHtml() function, not with load() function!!
(4) It also show the images from disk if I give them as: <img src=FTP:///C:/HTMLViewer/html/img1.jpg">
