You don't mean "the page" as in the whole index.php or myfilename.html file? Comments Do you mean a .jpg or .png image that you can include in your local HTML or from a custom URL screen?

I know it sounds mad, but what I want to do is create a background image that has a rating feature added to it. I am not an advanced user of Xcode so don't know how to add a rating feature to a page but I am more advanced web developer and really just experimenting with the boundaries of the Buzztouch platform.

For example, I use local html screens for content on the device but in that code I access jquery libraries from the web. cheers Comments I think I understand what you are trying to do :) You should be able to reference images using http://domain.com/filename.jpg These can either sit on a server somewhere (user needs connectivity to access them the first time and then I believe they are cached) or you can use a local HTML file on the device that has references to images not on the device as long as you use absolute url's and not relative ones.

Sorry for any confusion.
