<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Browsers, by default, don't support
TIFF images.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://www.alternatiff.com seems to
be the free cross-platform Browser plugin of choice that enables support
for TIFF images within a HTML page.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Using the &lt;html:img&gt; tag however
does not work.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://www.alternatiff.com/howtoembed.html
explains how to setup an HTML page that includes TIFFs. It looks to me
like the following is the most generic:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">&lt;object width=200 height=200 </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">&nbsp; data=&quot;placeholder.tif&quot;
type=&quot;image/tiff&quot;&gt;</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">&nbsp;&lt;param name=&quot;src&quot;
value=&quot;placeholder.tif&quot;&gt;</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">&nbsp;&lt;param name=&quot;toolbar&quot;
value=&quot;none&quot;&gt;</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">&lt;/object&gt;</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">... where placeholder.tif is the image.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is it possible to edit db-bindings.xml
to include specific support for different image types?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I come across a lot of XML/DocBook documents
that come with a pile of TIFFs (which are really good for creating PDFs
for quality printing) and would love to be able to view them through CSS
too.</font>
<br>
