IE COM object won't display inline images

I shamelessly reused and modified a UDF posted here to create a change password dialog in IE. I wanted a simple informational window to tell the user where they logged in, but messagebox() wasn't cutting it because sometimes a mystery app would steal focus and cause the box to never time out. So, I stripped out the forms and put what was left in my script. Everything works except a company logo I placed inline. If I run the script locally, it's okay, but when I run it on logon the image doesn't appear. This happens no matter how I address it:

file:///@ldrive\logon-banner.gif
http://our.intra.net/logon-banner.gif
@ldrive\logon-banner.gif
%systemroot%\logon-banner.gif (after copying to local drive)

Is there some sort of security problem I need to address here?

code:

	DIM $title, $top, $left, $height, $Width, $False, $true
	DIM $status, $doc, $nul, $html

	$top      = "320"
	$left     = "200"
	$height   = "120"
	$width    = "300"
	$false    = 0
	$true     = -1
	$title = "Welcome, $fullname."
	$msg = "You have logged onto $domain, $site."
	$html= '<html>
		<head>
		<title>$title</title>
	<style>
	<!--body{ background-color: mediumblue; color: white;font-family: baskerville old face, arial; 

font-size: 
	11pt; margin: 3px }input.tbox { border: lpx black solid;}td { font: 11 pt baskerville old face; 

}--->
	</style>
	</head>

	<body scroll=no onresize="window.resizeto(300,120);" >
	<img src="file:///@ldrive\logon-banner.gif" height=51 width=166 alt="">
	<br>
	$msg
	</font>
	</body>
	</html>'

	$ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")

	; Set properties and display form ...
	$ie.addressbar = $false
	$ie.menubar = $false
	$ie.toolbar = $false
	$ie.statusbar = $false
	$ie.resizable = $false
	$ie.top = $top
	$ie.left = $left
	$ie.height = $height
	$ie.width = $width
	$ie.visible = $true

	$ie.navigate("about:blank")

	; Get a handle to the open document ...
	$doc = $ie.document
	$doc.write($html)

	color w+/b
        gosub getparent
	gosub sync
	gosub home
	gosub files
	gosub printers

	$ie.quit()

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	For whats it worth, my guess is that the script is not properly (fully) syncing-up when fetching the Document Object from Internet Explorer. The Navigate method call is asynchronous - it returns emmediately - and the Document object isn't "ready" until the navigation fully completes. The way to handle this is to perform the navigate, then enter a tight loop waiting for it to finish, then "fetch" your Document object handle, here's an exmaple using your script: ; Get a handle to the open document ... $doc = $ie.document while $ie.busy and $ie.readystate <> 4 and @error = 0 loop $doc.write($html) Hope this helps. -Shawn

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	The Docment object can be sync'd as well, if the above doesn't help, try this: $doc.write($html) while $doc.readystate <> 4 and @error = 0 loop [ 14. August 2002, 20:01: Message edited by: Shawn ]

I modified one of the progress indicator scripts to put the logo on the left and text/bar on the right. It comes up more quickly than the IE window, as well.
