Table Of Contents

The below procedure describes how to use Camera data as the source of an image inside a

<div> container. The benefit of this approach is that the image automatically scales to the size

of the container.

1. Click the Insert Inline Box icon on the toolbar. The Insert Inline Box dialog appears.

2. Enter an ID for the box (anything will do, as long as it helps you identify the box) and click

OK. The box is added to the text flow and can be resized if needed.

3. Switch to the Source tab and replace the content of the box:

<p>

Div content goes here

</p>

by this text:

4. Switch back to the Design tab. You will see a small, empty rectangle inside at the top of

the inline box.

5. Right-click the empty rectangle and choose New Script... in the contextual menu. The

Edit Script dialog appears. The selector of the script is automatically set to the ID of the

selected element (#camera).

Alternatively, you could add a new script on the Scripts pane and make sure that the

Selector field is set to #camera.

6. Enter the following script code:

results.attr("src", record.fields.photo);

The name of the data field (in this case: photo) must be that of the Camera data in your

data model.

This script updates the attribute “src” with the field containing the base64 image.

7. Click OK to save the script and toggle to the Preview mode to see the result. You should

see your image. When you resize the inline box that surrounds the image, the image

should be resized as well.

If the inline box isn't visible, click the Show Edges button in the toolbar.
