[Laszlo-user] cannot display a pdf document in an iframe

Thu May 14 03:04:39 PDT 2009

Hello,

I have an iframe in my OL-application which shall display a pdf document.

I have tried <embed> and <object>. Both tags do not display the pdf in the iframe.

Does anybody know what I do wrong?

Kind Regards,
Marc
