I know how to embed images in a web page inline. That's not my question.
My question is for a web page that has images included the normal way, as links to a distinct jpg file, how can I save it where it creates a single html file where the images are converted to embedded images inline in the html?
You can use SingleFile for this (I'm the author). It can be run as an extension or from the command line, more info here: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile.
Not a direct answer, but you may consider the MHTML format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML), supported natively by IE, but also available in other browsers via plugins.

I am trying to embed uploaded files into a page using object tag. When using in Chrome on Linux, text files and pdf are correctly embedded. On the other hand doc, ppt, etc. are not displayed and downloaded instead. What determines which files are displayed and which are not? Is it possible to detect supported types, so I can avoid displaying the preview? Is it different in other browsers and OS?
Trying to embed a pdf on my website like so:
<iframe src="filename.pdf" type='application/pdf' frameborder="0"></iframe>
The website is a rails site, and currently I'm only running it on a local server.
The problem is that the pdfs render with a toolbar on top and a sidebar with my adobe creative cloud account information, as seen in the picture below (the actual content of the pdf displays in the white box under the toolbar and to the left of the sidebar)
How can I get the pdf to render alone, without the menu and sidebar?
If you allow the browser to choose how the PDF gets rendered, you're never going to be able to create a consistent experience for your users unless you are in a controlled desktop environment.
If you are looking for a consistent experience, use pdf.js to render the PDF in the browser.
If you are in a controlled environment and all of your users have a browser/viewer combination that will let the browser show PDF using the Adobe Reader plugin (as your screen shot shows) then you can use the "open parameters" at the end of the URL to control what gets shown. See the documentation at the link below.

That said, don't count on that solution to work for very long. Most modern browsers are not allowing the viewer plugins to function anymore and the rest are moving in that direction.

I think it's better use some kind of JS stuff just in case of cross-browser issues, like related into first link. Solutions like https://pdfobject.com/ it's helpful to get the job done. Look:
PDFObject 2.0 detects browser support for inline/embedded PDFs. (In
case you were wondering, your browser supports embedded PDFs. You
lucky dog, you!)
If you're working with dynamic HTML, such as a single-page web app,
you may need to insert PDFs on-the-fly. However, PDF embedding is not
supported by certain browsers. If you insert markup without first
checking for PDF support, you could wind up with missing content or a
broken UI.
The PDFObject utility helps you avoid these situations by detecting
support for PDF embedding in the browser; if embedding is supported,
the PDF is embedded. If embedding is NOT supported by the browser, the
PDF will NOT be embedded.
By default, PDFObject 2.0 inserts a fallback link to the PDF when the
browser does not support inline PDFs. This ensures your users always
have access to your PDF, and is designed to help you write less code.
The fallback link can be customized, or the option can be disabled if
you prefer.
PDFObject 2.0 is npm-ready. Modern web apps use npm to manage packages
and dependencies. PDFObject 2.0 is registered with Node Package
Manager (npm) and can be loaded dynamically.
PDFObject also makes it easy to specify Adobe's proprietary "PDF Open
Parameters". (Be warned these parameters are only supported by Adobe
Reader, most PDF readers will ignore the parameters, including the
built-in PDF readers in Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Read
more below.)
I have noticed that HTML5 Boilerplate and dev websites like css-tricks.com use only apple-touch-icon as any reference to favicon, and that image is indeed displayed in a browser. I was not following this topic for a while and am confused to how this works. Is it safe to now only include a touch-icon and will it be displayed in various browsers?
A favicon.ico file is used by the browser automatically if it's in the root directly of your page/app.
If you want to add a favicon in a different format (e.g. png), of you want to add it from another source (e.g. a subdirectory like /img) or if you want to make the browser load a new version of the file (e.g. favicon.ico?v=2) you use the link tag.

I already found many answers on how to embed a font in a web page but I am asking what is the most recent and efficient one to use as some methods are very old and does not display correctly
please advise I have a commercial font I want to embed inside my web page and to be displayed in all new major browsers (we can ignore IE 6)
Thanks alot

Just download a kit or generate your own, open the sample page included in the kit and see how it's done.
We're using the customer's default browser to display locally generated HTML files in a preview mode. The files are between 0.5M and 2.5M in size. These files do not progressively render in any of the top 5 Windows browsers (Chrome, FireFox, IE, Opera, and Safari). In other words, when we try to load these files, the browser window displays a blank white page until the page is fully loaded.
The HTML files we generate have no tables or script and have all CSS references in the head section of the HTML file. Our pages include about 10 unique 16x16 png images (with image height and width explicitly included on each img tag) that are referenced several hundred times. Our output validates 100% compliant with XHTML 1.0 Strict using the W3C validation service.
Any tips on how we can enable progressive rendering of LOCALLY loaded HTML files or is progressive rendering a feature that is disabled for locally loaded files?
As an alternative, I'm looking for any tips that would allow us to display a GIF busy indicator graphic while the rest of the file loads and is rendered. We tried doing this by placing a GIF image at the top of our HTML file (immediately following the open body tag) followed by a div with display:none styling that included the full content of the HTML we want rendered. Unfortunately, the GIF file does not display until the full HTML file is loaded.
Thank you,
Malcolm
I can suggest that you confirm that the content is being interpreted properly by the browser. Despite the W3C checks, things could still be handled in 'quirks mode' .. In my experience, 'xhtml-transitional' has proved to be the most likely to provide cross-browser zen. Also, confirm that major tags like 'div' and 'p' are being closed quickly. It's hard for the browser to know what to do if the whole page is always in one layer of 'div' ..
Good luck!
