    I am new to this so bare with me :)

    I am making a site using dreamweaver CS5.5, and I want to embed an HDView panorama I made with the Photoshop plugin (the panorama page works fine locally)

    I have read the procedure to embed the iframe instruction on the HDViw site page, I inserted the iframe instruction in my Div and when I test the page I do get the HDView viewer box, but I get the error

    "cannot access the XML file using a 'file' URL when the HTML page is accessed using a 'http URL"

    Of course because I am testing the site locally, I have put in the iframe the local path to the xml file. iframe instruction below:

    <iframe style='width: 800px; height: 600px; margin: 0' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/IVM/HDViewSL/HDIFrame.htm?FileName=C:\users\username\documents\site\Images\Salon-Pano\Salon-Pano_hdv.xml&Viewer=1'>
    </iframe>

    in the Salon-Pano folder I have the following files:

    Salon-Pano_files folder with the image set

    HDViewSL.xap

    Salon-Pano.htm

    Salon-Pano.xml

    Salon-Pano_hdv.xml

     

    So I have 3 questions

    1) Is there a different syntax for the iframe that would allow me to test the web page with the embedded instruction locally

    2) Am I supposed to use the Salon-Pano.xml or the Salon-Pano_hdv.xml in the iframe

    3) When I am ready to upload to the server, do I need to put the full site URL of the xml file in the iframe, or can I use a local relative path on the server like Images\Salon-Pano\Salon-Pano_hdv.xml

    Thank you very much for any clarification you can offer

     Edit: I tried doing an Iframe with the Hdview web page generated by ICE or PS as the source, but then I run into an IE problem,where IE does not display local content. It does work with Firefox though.

    This brings me to a 4th question:

    4) Is there a reason why we should use the http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/IVM/HDViewSL/HDIFrame.htm?FileName=xxx as the source rather that simply use the HDView htm page created by ICE or the PS plugin ?

    1) HDViewSL/Silverlight (Viewer=1) won't allow you to mix file: and http: URLs.  So for testing just copy http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/IVM/HDViewSL/HDIFrame.htm to your local drive.  Or use HDView (Viewer=0) which doesn't have that restriction.

    2) Use Salon-Pano_hdv.xml for HDView or HDViewSL, Salon-Pano.xml for DeepZoom.

    3) The FileName property in the iframe can be a relative path (but using / not \ if a URL).

    4) HDIFrame.htm lets you embed an iframe in your web page; HDView.htm is a web page.  If you have a web server you can just put HDView.htm on it; if not, you can reference http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/IVM/HDViewSL/HDIFrame.htm from your blog.

    Thanks a lot for the clarifications !

    for 1) IE still refuses to display local content though so I guess there is no way to test locally in IE, have to use Firefox preview...

    In IE try Internet Options->Advanced, scroll down to Security and check "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".

    that enables local js content to work without getting the "enable blocked content" message, but not the iframe  to display a local HDview web page. I still get a black iframe, no error or warnings, just nothing. If I preview in firefox, the HDView content is there and works fine.

    From what I have read it seems to be a known problem with IE Iframes and local content, but I would be happy to find a workaround.
