Crash and other issues with passthru HTML

My goal is to have a reference in a form to an image on the internet. Simple, right? It’s driving me crazy. Here’s what I’ve found so far:

The reference is:

If I put this on a PAGE and mark it as passthru HTML and preview in either a Notes client or a browser it works as expected.

If I put it on a new FORM with no other design elements, mark it as passthru and preview in a browser it works. However, if I preview it in a Notes client it consistently crashes.

It gets more interesting. If I place a computed field, computed text or an editable field WITH a default value before the passthru HTML reference the client does not crash but there is a red box instead of the image. If any of the other design elements are placed after the passthru HTML reference the client crashes. It looks like the form need to do some calculation before it hits the reference or it crashes.

Any idea about what is going on and how I can display the referenced image on a form would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Try this…

I followed the same steps and got a crash as well. Rather than defining the passthru HTML as the literal value “<img …”, trying using a computed text value with that particular value. This stopped the crash for me, but like you I still had the issue of the image not appearing. This could be an authentication issue

Subject: Good idea but…

Using computed text on the form for the reference was a good idea and I’m getting the same thing as you… the red x and box.

If I copy the computed text on the form to a page in the same database it works fine so I don’t think it’s authentication related.

I’m trying to think what difference there is between a form and a page that could explain the different behavior.

Thanks for reproducing the issue. It’s helpful to know it’s not unique to my environment.
