Just an update on this issue:
I looked at the Identify widget and found that 3.6 & 3.6.1 still displayed text links in the popup and not the images. This is how I had intended.
Starting at 3.6.2, the Identify widget popup displays the image instead of the text. The images are still displayed in the results windows.
I have not looked at the eSearch widget.
Also, I have NOT changed my xml file between 3.6 widget updates.
Thanks
Eric
