[Qt-interest] QWebView HelloWorld - image doesn't load

[Eric Clark]

I have ran into images not loading before and the problem was that I was missing the Qt image dlls. The dlls need to be located in your application's executable directory under the sub directory imageformats, like so:

MyApplicationDirectory/imageformats/qgif4.dll

This is just one of the image dlls, there is one for each type of image (i.e. GIF, JPEG, PNG, etc.). If these dlls are not there, Qt does not know how to load the images and you get exactly what you are seeing.

Hope this helps!
