How to embed (almost) any document to HTML?

Embed document files into html

  • In html i can do this <iframe src="foobar.pdf" style="width:600px; height:600px;" frameborder="0"></iframe> which would allow me to embed a pdf into an html file. What process would i use to embed other doc files into html. (such as .doc and .odt)

  • Answer:

    In principle, you'd use exactly the same procedure. The reason it works so well with PDF is because the vast majority of users have a PDF viewer (probably Adobe's) installed, including the appropriate browser plugin. However, if you specify another document type as the source, your browser probably won't have a plugin available for display and will instead attempt to open the file with an external program (such as Word or OpenLibreOffice) or just prompt to save. Most browsers (with the obvious and notable exception of iOS browsers) also have Flash installed--maybe you can find a Flash-based solution to display these files for you.
