Is there any way to embed a PowerPoint slide show in an HTML page using just the standard tags etc? I tried using a iframe, but that just results in the PowerPoint being downloaded.
<iframe src="Chapter1.pptx">Your browser does not support.</iframe>
I am looking for a way to show the slide show using only standard stuff. I realize I could use google docs or flash or something, but I’d rather have a simple implementation.
Does the web just not know how to process a PowerPoint presentation?
I have decided to take a hack route and upload the powerpoint onto YouTube and then just include the youtube video in the iframe.
I know, it’s cheap, but it’s also easy.
EDIT
I eventually checked my page as XHTML Strict, which does not support the
<iframe>tag. So I used theobjecttag instead.
