Has anyone tried replacing column values with images? for example, display GIF files instead of MODEL values below.

PAGE 1

MODEL DEALER_COST
100 LS 2 DOOR AUTO 5,063
2000 4 DOOR BERLINA 4,915
2000 GT VELOCE 5,660
2000 SPIDER VELOCE 5,660
2002 2 DOOR 5,800

Thanks

sure, Victor.
define a field
DEFINE FILE CAR
PICTURE/A100=
'<IMG SRC="HTTP://LOCALHOST/IMAGES/' | MODEL || '_LOGO.JPG" style="border: 0px;" HEIGHT=25 >';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL PICTURE AS '' BY CAR
END
..the syntax in the defined field takes the value for the field MODEL right from the data record, and looks for an image of the same name in your image directory.
In addition, you can surround that image tag with hyperlink references and make the picture 'hot';
In addition, you can replace or augment the values with little colored bars of a width corresponding the the value. Go to focal point focus on developers and read the article 'GRAPHTYPE..kicking it up a notch'.
(obv, the model field wont work, it has blanks embedded in it..but you get the idea)

I will play with this and will check the article. The idea is to replace the actual MODEL value with the picture of the MODEL for each model.

Thanks for your quick response.
