problem coding .tif files

[thedarkman]

I'm trying to display .tif files but the normal code <imc src=this.tif"
doesn't seem to work. Can anyone tell me why?

Thanks

Who told you browsers can render tif files on webpages? They don't!

Tech Support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?
Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get
the circle around it?

Most browsers only support the following file formats:

* PNG
* JPEG
* GIF
* XBM

a few also support SVG, Windows Bitmaps and Windows Icon files, but don't
count on it.

Please post real validated code (clue: copy/paste) if you don't want
to waste people's time with discussing your typos.

In the good old days of NCSA X Mosaic, we used to use postscript (.ps)
in <img...>, but support for that disappeared at some point, and
hasn't been seen since, as far as I can tell.

A pity, because it made vector format images feasible, long before
SVG.
