opening a tiff image in IE - html

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>

IE does not natively support TIFF images. You have three options:
Use a browser plugin such as: http://www.alternatiff.com/
Convert the image on the fly before presenting to the browser.
Batch convert the images to another format.
The preferred solution will depend on your situation.

Internet Explorer doesn't support TIFF images natively. You need a plugin for this to work. Check http://www.alternatiff.com/

Try the classic "applet" instead...

How do I view Tiff images in HTML5?

HTML5 supports JPEG and PNG image formats, but TIFF is not supported. How do open a TIFF image in an HTML5 page?
Tiff image format is not supported by the browser.
However, if you search the linked site, you can find the answer
https://github.com/iwscoop/iws.loader
It seems to be a site that provides image viewer in HTML5 for free.
I hope you have a good result.
TIFF image support is varying see here:
Display TIFF image in all web browser
Here is a good but out-dated website for TIFF images on webpages:
http://www.alternatiff.com/howtoembed.html
If that doesn't work try using a converter (Maybe something like this....)

Hope this Helps.

PDF Thumbnails in HTML5

Can anyone suggest me how to create a PDF thumbnail which shows a miniature preview of the pdf file in html5. Something similar to the behaviour seen in Gmail while uploading pdf files.
Currently am using embed element, but it gives me unnecessary scrolls and not able to zoom in the file,which works across all browsers. If I set #zoom it works only in chrome.
This can be achieved using https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/
If the thumbnails are not compatible in browsers like IE, including compatibility.js from the same library would solve the problem.
We have to create a canvas and use the library utility to get the thumbnail in the canvas.

How to display an image of type TIFF?

I need to do a preview of tiff files.
I need a alternative to services google using iframe..
Thanks!
I believe displaying tiff is a matter of browser support (or if the browser has the plugin for it).

Depending on where you get your images, you might be able ask them to generate the image in a different format (like jpg, png, etc).

Question about rendering .tiff image in HTML

In my html page, I created an tag to render some of my .tif format images.
Since .tif images can not be rendered directly in "src" attribute of the tag, so I created the following code to render it:
<object width="200" height="200" type="image/tiff" data="Test.tif">
<param name="src" value="Test.tif"/>
<param name="negative" value="yes"/>
</object>
Everything worked perfectly :) in both Chrome and Firefox, but the image is not rendering in IE. Wonder if any expert could offer some help?
Thanks a lot!
tif is not a standard format for the web (though the spec doesn't define a standard list) and it won't be displayed in all browsers.
It looks like it only has support for IE and Safari.
Browser Image Support
You can convert it to a different file format, e.g. by screen capturing it using the PrtScrn button, then cropping it on Paint and saving it as a jpg/png/etc. file that every browser can display. If not, then somehow you will have to tell people to modify their registry because there is a registry that prevents .tif files by being rendered. Try looking at this:
http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/1182/
You can also use PHP and ImageMagick to convert the tiff images to png or jpeg on the fly. That way they will render nicely and work in all browsers.

Problem in time to show images

I need to show pictures of direfentes formats such as JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF, PNG, PCX, but I'm not getting the images in tif and pcx formats appear in the html image tag, anyone know how I could do this?
The img tag can only handle jpg, gif, bmp and png files. To display i.e. a tiff file you can use the embed tag.
<embed width=xxx height=xxx src="tiffdocument.tif" type="image/tiff">
More variations here
Most browsers can't display TIFF and afaik no browser can display PCX images, using standard <img> tags.
A solution would be to convert the image to a supported format, either manually or automatically (using php or server-side language).
Repeat of: Display TIFF image in all web browser. It's browser support issue.
