How do you present a local .htm file with css and javascript using wx.html2?

I found a few basic examples on how to source a remote webpage like here

http://stackoverflow.com/a/10866495/784637
import wx

import wx.html2

class MyBrowser(wx.Dialog):

def init(self, *args, **kwds):

wx.Dialog.init(self, *args, **kwds)

sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

self.browser = wx.html2.WebView.New(self)

sizer.Add(self.browser, 1, wx.EXPAND, 10)

self.SetSizer(sizer)

self.SetSize((700, 700))

if name == ‘main’:

app = wx.App()

dialog = MyBrowser(None, -1)

dialog.browser.LoadURL(“http://www.google.com”)

dialog.Show()

app.MainLoop()

But I haven’t found any examples of presenting an .htm file from the local filesystem.

I read “Virtual File Systems and Custom Schemes” but wasn’t able to find any working examples of presenting a local .htm file.

http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/html2.WebView.html#phoenix-title-virtual-file-systems-and-custom-schemes

Does anyone know how to do this?

Did you try a file url? : file://the_path/to/the/file.html

I haven't but it's the first thing I'd try...

On a phone here, but the next thing I’d try is reading the file, then calling SetPage with the contents.

Generally a local file URL would actually include 3 / characters:

file:///c:\temp\zExample.txt

Yes, generally you read the file in, then pass it to the WebView, as a raw string so possible escape sequences dont screw up anything in rendering.
Local files you will want to add the ‘file//’ to the beginning of the path.
