How can I insert an image into the navbar on a shiny navbarPage()

by

I can now answer this question, at least for shiny 0.10.0. The general idea is to set the title= to a div() that contains both the image and the text for the the title.

This however, creates a new problem in that the icon= argument no longer works, and you cannot set a title for the window.

                                   type="image/png" />'))),
     div(style="padding: 1px 0px; width: '100%'",
         titlePanel(
                title="", windowTitle="My Window Title"
         )
      ),
      navbarPage(
         title=div(img(src="myLogo.gif"), "My Title in the Navbar"),
         tabPanel(....
