Hi,

I am looking to embed a .wav file into my solution which is stored in the database. Would like to do it in both smart, but particularly webclient.

I tried this using the blobloader, but it doesnt seem to work.

My method set a form variable that was attached to an html area with the resulting contents as:

My form just shows a box with an arrow on the right and “embed” in it?

Should this be achievable, I was hoping it would display like it does in a normal browser with the little audio player.  
(This is using servoy 5.2 on OSX)

i have tested this in 5.2, at least your html and your html is getting rewritten just fine so it should work fine.

Maybe its a developer issue and will work when i deploy it to the production server, but i think it should work in developer. This is 5.2 latest release.

My top field is an html\_area.

my bottom one a text\_area.

It doesnt seem to render in the html\_area. The sound file is definitely there on that record.

in the smart client this will never work.  
This will only work in the browser.  
Smart client doesnt know the embed tag… for the smart client see application.playSound()
