Opening tiff image in IE

Question

Is it possible to open Tiff images in IE, just as BMP opens in IE. When I try to assign the iframe source as a tiff image, it opens a save dialog. I want to display a tiff image inside an IE page.

Below is an example that I tried

<iframe src='C:\Users\XYZ\Desktop\Untitled.tif'; id ='hello'></iframe>

Answer 1

IE does not support TIFF images. You have three options:

• Use a browser plugin, for example: http://www.alternatiff.com/

• Convert the image on the fly before presentation to the browser.

• Batch convert images to another format.

The preferred solution will depend on your situation.

Answer 2
