Make sure you provide the needed image plugins for displaying jpeg and gif.

The jpeg and the gif plugin and any other image format you want to be displayed.

Yeah, but you must make sure Qt finds the plugins locationed under imageformats. If you run the browser from the Qt Comand Line, did you see the images? If you distribute the app, you have to deliver the plugins alongside your app. See http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/deployment-windows.html

actually, the demo browser can display the jpeg and gif in my computer (which is installed qt and the vs2008)

however, when i put the browser.exe (rebuild the program wihtout changing any codes) in another computers (which does not installed qt and vs2008),
it can still go to the website, but cannot display jpeg or gif

And that's why I post you the link. You have to deliver the plugins alongside your exe as it is described at the end of the linked page.

thanks so much!

I put the following code in the main function

QCoreApplication::addLibraryPath(QCoreApplication: :applicationDirPath()+"/imageformats");

then it works now!

Do you have an "imageformats" subdirectory inside your "imageformats" directory?

[stmk]

no

actually, i put the "imageformats" folder in the release folder (browser.exe also inside in release folder)
\browser\release\imageformats

when i click browser.exe, it can show the jpeg and gif

[wysota]

Then remove the addLibraryPath() call because it doesn't do anything. It would work if you had an imageformats subdirectory in imageformats directory.

i see..
thanks so much anyway!
