opening a tiff image in IE

Question

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

Following is a sample which i was trying

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

Answer 1

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

1. Use a browser plugin such as: http://www.alternatiff.com/

2. Convert the image on the fly before presenting to the browser.

3. Batch convert the images to another format.

The preferred solution will depend on your situation.
