Hi,

I have an HTML area on a standard Servoy 7.2 form. The dataprovider for the form is a form variable.

I have a photo, whose binary data is stored in a text field (UDM.contact\_notes) and not a media field (mobile client 7.2 does not support blobs currently).

The mobile solution displays the photos fine (in a bean).

The back end solution, running the Web Client also display the photos fine in an HTML area. However, if I switch to the Smart Client then the photo is not displayed.

Is this a bug in the Smart Client or am I missing something?

Here is the code below (all 3 lines of it) :-

/\*\*

- @properties={typeid:35,uuid:“25F4E69B-758D-4AC9-A35A-2D221E3E0D4D”,variableType:-4}  
\*/  
var mynewimage = null;

/\*\*

- @properties={typeid:35,uuid:“1C0952D6-1A4A-4A78-B322-6FBF2B26D23E”,variableType:-4}  
\*/

/\*\*

- Perform the element default action.
- 
- @param {JSEvent} event the event that triggered the action
- 
- @private
- 
- @properties={typeid:24,uuid:“04645217-9C2E-429D-B2CD-F68FCBCF2C1D”}  
\*/  
function onActionPreview(event)  
{  
forms.contacts.mynewimage = ’ ![](data:image/jpeg;base64,' + foundset.contact_notes + ') ’  
elements.myimage.requestFocus();  
}

I have attached a pdf with the screenshots from both the Web and the Smart Client.
