Description
Hello,
Say I want to display a local HTML file (e.g. "/tmp/data/overview.html") which itself includes tags pointing to image files in same or child folder.
```
From IPython.core.display import HTML
HTML(filename=local_html_file)
```
This file for example contains this
`
`
Observed behaviour:
This does not resolve correctly, as it resolves it relative to the working directory of the current notebook server.
[W 16:36:03.125 NotebookApp] 404 GET /notebooks/testing/demultiplex-summary.png (127.0.0.1): No such file or directory: testing/demultiplex-summary.png
Expected behaviour:
It should resolve to the file relative to the html file loaded, with the image (or other iframe or video or css etc) loading/displaying correctly.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue with IPython.core.display.HTML(filename=local_html_file) and an HTML file containing a relative image path. Trace how the HTML output resolves resource URLs; done means images, iframes, video, and CSS referenced relative to the loaded HTML file display correctly rather than relative to the notebook server's working directory.
