Re: Open Word document through Iframe

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The file is getting to your machine just fine. It's how your browsers are handling it that's your problem. Some browsers/machines may be configured to use the MS Word plugin to display the DOC file and some aren't. Those that aren't will obviously (and helpfully) prompt the user to save/open/cancel.

Go to file types in Windows Explorer, DOC, Advanced. You should see the advanced edit file type dialog box, there should be a checkbox there that says "Display file in same window" or something similar. That should get your DOC files displaying within the browser.

I get "Open", "Save","Cancel" dialog box

and if I click on "Open" the prompt just disappears and the document does not display. If I look at the task manger the WINWORD.EXE is one of the processes. If I close the webpage WINDWORD disaplears from the processes.

What do you mean by "loads into memory but never displays"? Are you getting a download prompt on some machines instead of the .doc file being displayed?

I have the following code which is executed from a modal web page - it works fine on most, but on some computers the Word loads into memory but never displays. This occurs with IE6 and IE7, but always works on FireFox.
When I close the modal web page Word disappears from Memory.

I don't know where the problem is, my code, IE setup or intranet security, I also do not know where and for what to look for - I've tried Google but I don't know what to look for so I am getting millions of hits.

I any ideas will be appreciated.

(I get same results with Excel as with Word)

string officeDocScript = "<div>"
+ "<iframe width=\"75%\" height=\"55%\" name=\"fframe\" src=\"" + filePath + "\">"
+ "<frame width=\"75%\" height=\"55%\" name=\"fframe\" src=\"" + filePath + "\">"
+ "<embed src=\"" + filePath + "\">"
+ "</iframe></div>";
