I'm making a GUI for visualizing the images (.JPGs) in a database and allowing searches on them. To implement the visualization, I make a uitable of images. To do this, I set the Data property to HTML code that displays the image. It looks like this.
>> tableCode{1,1}
ans =
<html><center><img height=60 width=60 src="Users/lab/Documents/blah.jpg"></center></html>
>> set(handles.uitable2, 'Data', tableCode);
This compiles and works well on Windows computers, but the images are all broken on Macs. I checked and the path works and opening a document with the same HTML from tableCode in Safari shows the image correctly. How can I fix this?

I ended up solving this on my own... this site has good tips:

Essentially, it seems like the Mac version of MATLAB is stricter on file paths than Mac Safari or Windows.
