EditLive! for Java allows developers to specify a web page that can be viewed through EditLive! for Java's image insertion dialog. This allows developers to integrate web pages featuring image hyperlinks into the image insertion architecture of EditLive! for Java. To insert images from the image browser, users simply have to click on the image hyperlink then click the OK button on the image insertion dialog.
This functionality is useful for developer's who already posses access to an online image repository and wish to easily access these images through the EditLive! for Java interface. Developers may also wish to create their own web page in order to specify a commonly used collection of images to make such a collection readily available to a user base.
Developers can also specify if the location of images inserted from a web page are relative or absolute. This can be useful in ensuring all the required information relating to the location of the image is passed back to EditLive! for Java. More information on relative and absolute referencing of images inserted from a web page can be found in the <imageBrowser> XML configuration API.
Detailed information on the image insertion dialog's browser component can be located in the <imageBrowser> XML configuration API.
Web pages referenced through the image insertion dialog's browser component face some restrictions in order to operate correctly
Any JavaScript contained in these web pages will not function.
Images can only be inserted from web pages by image hyperlinks. For example
<a href="images/ephoxImage.gif">
Image tags cannot be clicked to obtain a reference to the image location. For example, the following will not return any information to EditLive! for Java upon being clicked
<img src="images/ephoxImage.gif>
Using a web page to display links to images can be a convenient method for developers to create easily accessible libraries for users. EditLive! for Java allows integration of such pages into it's image insertion architecture through the use of the image insertion dialog's browser component.
