    Default Question on displaying a JPG from an XML node which references a changing URL

    Building a page which displays XML data in a layout form. One node of the XML schema references a URL which points to a JPG. I'd like the appropriate JPG displayed within the layout for each record in the XML feed. I can easily display the URL text by using the layout field label and the insert data source tool, but there doesn't seem to be a way to display the jpg the url references.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are using the Data Source panel (View > More Panels > Data Sources) to bind to your XML data store. Then you can create a place holder image on your page. Finally use the Grid Inspector (View > Grid Inspector) panel to re-bind the SRC attribute to a node in your XML.

    Thanks, Mike! This approach works very nicely. I was experimenting with some Java, but this works without any coding and is very easy to do.
