As it stands now, jBox expects the image to be at a URL. Changing it to
look for the image in a local file location might not be too difficult.
I have no idea how hard it would be to change it to look for the image
as a part of an <img src= ... because the img src is neither a URL or a
file that is managed directly by the client computer's file system.
If so, would that not be the best of both?
You lost me there. Could you expand on that?
