Note: There are restrictions in Google Chrome regarding the loading of files from the local file system; links to files on the local file system (file:///) are allowed only in html documents that have been loaded from the local file system as well. In general best practice is to always use relative paths/urls to images and other files that are referred to in a html document, so if the html page is hosted on a local file system the browser would also look for included images etc. there. This restriction can not possibly be overruled by listing local files in the WebBrowserDisplay.xml white list.

Trouble shooting
If the web browser display is not working as expected and the FEWS log does not appear to contain any log messages that are related, please try the following before reporting the problem to Deltares;
- copy the URL in the address bar and try to open this in a stand-alone Chrome browser
- go to the FEWS temp/session folder and investigate the cef.log file, which contains detailed logging information from the Chromium embedded web browser.
