[Seaside] Re: MAPictureDescription missing from Magritte???

[John Chludzinski]

Lukas, not quite certain what you meant by: "However, I doubt that it
is possible to write it in a platform independent way ..."?  The
platform is the browser; so are you saying it would be browser
specific?  In what way?  (The beginning of this thread was started on
seaside at lists.squeakfoundation.org.)

BTW,  I made some mods to some classes to support pictures:

MAFileUploadComponent subclass: #MMAPicFileUploadComponent
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	classVariableNames: ''
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'MMAApp'!


!MMAPicFileUploadComponent methodsFor: 'rendering' stamp: 'jtc 6/8/2009 17:44'!
renderEditorOn: html

	self value isNil
		ifFalse: [
			html table: [
				html tableRow: [
					html image
						id: 'XXX';
						document: self value contents mimeType: self value mimetype].
				html tableRow: []]].

	self isMultipart
		ifTrue: [ self renderUploadOn: html ]
		ifFalse: [ self renderRemoveOn: html ]! !

I would like to have a passport ilk pictures appear in Magritte generated reports and editors for users of a system by defining a #descriptionPicture class-side method for a system-user class.  Not that easy!
