Viewing tif's in web viewer

[kiwiora]

I have a disclosure database where pages are displayed as single page tif in a portal, and upon going to the record the first tif is displayed and each subsequent page on going to the next row in the portal.

I used to have quicktime installed on my pc and it would display the tif (albeit showing the quicktime image first and being a bit slow). Upon removal of quicktime (which is not standard on our pc's so don't particulary want to install it and the refresh was annoying) the tif's will no longer display in the webviewer.

The jpg's do so i know it's not the relationship etc. Instead a message displays in the webviewer "Loading /Images/0001.tif" and upon going to the record it will automatically ask you to open the image or save it.

How can I get the tif to display? I tried changing the file options so explorer is the default viewer for tif files.

I cannot change the file type from tif - it's a court requirement.

Also, is there a way to re-size the image to the size of the web-viewer, much like a graphic field.

TIA

Have you tried opening tiffs in Internet Explorer? If it does not accept tifs (but wants to download them instead), WebViever won't either.

Keep in Mind that WebViever is basically a crippled browser Window unsing either Safari (Mac) ode IE (WIN), so behaviour is the same.

Why not use (calculated) Container fields (->file://C:/pictures/123.tif) should do.
