Creating html from vb

Hello,

I want basically to create from vb6 an simple html file ("c:
\Image1.html") which will display a JPG image file ("c:\Image1.jpg")

I am not proficient at html

Is there a simple vb6 function to achieve this?

Regards
Avi

There isn't a simple function built in. But, I might still have my old
cgi class library laying around - and that had a lot of functions for
dynamcially generating html.... I look around, and if I find it - I'll
post the code somewhere.

In a word.... (no)

Internet Explorer will open and display a jpg file (as well as other image
files). Unless you want to add words, you do not need to create a page,
just open the file.

Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE ""D:\temp\einstein.jpg"""

Air code, not tested

Public Function ImgToHTML (ByVal sImage As String) As String
    Dim sHTML    As String

    sHTML = "<HTML>"
    sHTML = sHTML & "<BODY>"
    sHTML = sHTML & "<img src=""" & sImage & """>"
    sHTML = sHTML & "</BODY>"
    sHTML = sHTML & "</HTML>"

    ImgToHTML = sHTML
End Function

Then save your html string to a file with a .html extension

Honestly, it's 2010. Learn HTML. It's not going anywhere and you'll be hard
pressed as a programmer to avoid it.
