We don’t a full HTML renderer in Swing (although that would sure be nice!), and scaling of IMGs would be a luxury. But often it’s hard to know what HTMLage is actually going to be noticed by Swing.

My experience has been that in the absence of strict specs, experimentation is the only way to find out. I often use the Beanshell frame() method for those experiments, right out of the jEdit Beanshell console.

No reason I can think of not to do that in-world right on a Poster object, though.

you’re right, Swing seems to ignore the style dimensions. How annoying!

The Swing HTML renderer seems to treat IMG as an empty tag:

I typed an img tag and of course it disappeared. Just does img style=”width:nnn height:mmm;” actually scale the image to match the style in Swing?

I didn’t think Swing was that smart, and I can’t get that to work in a mockup.

And it’s *so* much more versatile than SL-style hovertext.

I hope the +Spaces people are in contact with the Architecture Working Group/VWRAP folks; if not I can arrange introductions.
