Re: Inline image problem

Hi,

Not many browsers(if any) support TIF/TIFF images in the <img> tag, not
Firefox, Opera, and certainly IE has never supported it.

The most common way that I'm aware of is to use the <embed> tag something
like this:

<embed width=200 height=200 src="some.tif" type="image/tiff" negative=yes>

You also need a plugin to be able to view them in a Browser, such as:

Quicktime Plug-in

AlternaTIFF Plug-in

Good luck,

Donald Anadell
