Web Based Picture reader

Tuesday, March 22, 2005 by RomanDA | Discussion: DesktopX

Hey all,

I am working on something for a small church, they have a sermon series each month, and each week they have different seroms, etc.. you know the deal.

On their web site they have a picture for each series, my simple question is:

How can i make a container/layer/image/etc that reads this image (as it changes all the time) and shows it in a little box in the widget im making for them?

I have managed to make a simple empty web page with just this image in it, and i can show that on my widget by using a "microsoft web browesr" item. But i get these dang scroll bars, dont want them. If i could get rid of the scroll bars then this would be fine for what im doing.

If there is a easier way, im open to it .


Thanks all!

The easiest way to do this is using
Object.Picture = "http:// images3.stardock.com/wc/T_AERO/images/sitelogo.jpg"

If each sermon has a unique identifier, the date for example, you could do something similar too
Object.Picture = "http:// images3.stardock.com/wc/T_AERO/images/sitelogo" & dateVar & ".jpg"

Hope this helps you out.
