How Media Objects are Displayed by the HTML Server

This section explains how Media Objects are sent to the HTML client by the HTML Server.

1. A user selects attachments on an application which has support for media objects.

2. The Media Object window displays the image, file, or OLE objects, and the user selects one of these objects.

   

3. The request goes to the web server.
