Image Field - Runtime href Setting issue

[_Nith_]

I am trying this simple code to set a href of an Image/ImageField object which is not working.

Image1.value.image.href = "http://www.adobe.com/ubi/globalnav/include/adobe-lq.png";

Am I missing something??

On which event are you exececuting that code? For security reasons once the form has been rendered you cannot change the image URL.

Hi Paul,

I tried this logic on exit event of a drop-down list.

My requirement is to have a dynamic table on which each column will have an employee drop-down & a photo (image field).

On choosing the employee name, the photo must appear on the image field. The form will then be saved and send to a manager for approval.

The photos of the employees are already saved in a file location.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Nith

The only way you will get th ephotos to update after the form has been rendered is by delivering the photo contents in a web service call. You can have the image contents base64 encoded and put into a string in the WS call (as output). Then you can bind that output string to th eimage field and it will work. You cannot have Acrobat/Reader retrieve images once the form has been rendered. This has been disabled for security reasons starting in version 8 I believe.
