Browse window?!?!?

[RickyRombo]

Im making an html creator, and i want to know how to get the user to select an image file so that the image name can be used in the code. is there a way I can have the user browse through their files with a window or the tree object or such? This would be useful to know for other things.

I've been trying to use the file object, but I can't recieve the name of the file the user selects in the file selector. I also cannot trigger anything to appear only after the file is selected. is their another extension I could use for this or am I going to have to use Trial and Error forever? And how come nobody looks at this topic but they look at the ones next to it?

PLEASE! I could use some help! =)

If you look at the help documentation for the File object it should tell you the relevant conditions and expressions.

you could just, you know, use the "common diolog object" to open a browsing window...

Thanks! I just needed to find the right object - I dont have any extra extensions, so I need to download the ones I need.

I'm trying to make a code for the image source
<img src="yourwebsite.com/yourfile.gif"> but I don't know how to put the " quotations in automatically - is there some way to make them show?

[Benicle]

to add a quotation mark in the expression editor it's """" I think, it's either three or four of them in a row.

Alternatively you can make a string with the text as " and say string$("text") + "hi" + string$("text")

[RickyRombo]

can you explain the alternative? it says it has a syntax error when i tried it

[RickyRombo]

Wait I don't need it - the first way works fine
