Code:
usr << browse('mage.dmi',"charcreation.preview")


Problem description:
The code is pretty self-explanitory but I can't figure out what to do, I'm a total noob at browsers. Anyways the general idea is to create a preview of your character, instead of actually creating your character on the map and editing their overlays based on the users decision. But I have no idea how to do it, I thought browse would work but it didn't I've also tried output(which I knew wouldn't work) and I have no clue.

browse() uses your browser so whatever you output needs to be in HTML format. In order to show an image, you need to use <img src="filename.ext"> tag.

Also note that in order to show filename.ext in browse(), you first must use browse_rsc('file', "filename.ext")

Ah! I got it! But, is there any way to stretch the icon to fit the browser window?

I think with CSS and html you can do it.
Just set the background property of something to be the image, and set the background to stretch.

Smart, I never would have though of using it as the background image :o!
