Question

Embedding image in QWebView with JavaScript

Answer 1

+1 A:

Check that QWebSettings::AutoLoadImages is enabled.

You could also try: document.execCommand('insertImage',false,'"+imagePath+"');

Try using relative vs absolute paths to the image.

Last but not least, poke around this sample application -- they are using a similar method of Javascript execCommand(), they do some things in a slightly different way such as using QUrl::fromLocalFile.

Best of luck!

I had tried a number of those things. I poked around, then asked here, and continued poking around. It increases the odds of an answer :)

QUrl::fromLocalFile worked for me. Thanks!

Answer 2

A:

It turns out that WebKit has a policy of not loading resources from the local filesystem without some massaging. In my code, I have a WebKit view which I'm using to edit leaves in a notebook. The following one-liner solved my issue:

 ui->leafEditor->page()->mainFrame()->setHtml("<html><head></head><body></body></html>",QUrl("file:///"));

From what I gleaned by lurking around the WebKit mailing list archives, in order to load files from the local filesystem one must set the URI to be file:, and this does the job.
