Display Image in Browser

Question

Dear all,
I have use the JLabel to add the ImageIcon with the filename passed under JPanel. It work on appletviewer but not in Browser.
The appletviewer can show both ImageIcon at the top and the Text at the bottom. But the browser (IE) can only show the Text only. It seems that ImageIcon cannot be added in JLabel.
May I missing something on the code?
Here is my code:
public final static DataFlavor LABEL_FLAVOR =
new DataFlavor(JLabel.class, "Label Instances");
public final static DataFlavor LOCAL_LABEL_FLAVOR = new DataFlavor(
DataFlavor.javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType +
"; class=javax.swing.JLabel", "Local Label");
protected JLabel getLabelFromFile(File f) {
//ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(f.getAbsolutePath());
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(f.getName());
JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
label.setText(f.getName());
label.setHorizontalTextPosition(JLabel.CENTER);
label.setVerticalTextPosition(JLabel.BOTTOM);
label.addMouseListener(this);
label.addMouseMotionListener(this);
return label;
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Theres nothing wrong in ur code.
the only problem is in IE's version of java(WFC) the File class doesnot have a getAbsolutePath() mehtos instead it uses the getFullPath() method which isn't there in the actual java class.Thats the reason why ur code isn't working on IE.Infact IE(WFC) doesn't implement any of the following methods
getPath()
getCanonicalPath()
getParent()
getparentFile()
createNewFile()
etc
Maybe u could pass the path of the Image file as a parameter to the applet and then try to display it on the JLabel.
Hope that helps.
