HOWTO embed SwiftView within your HTML page

To embed SwiftView within an HTML page, use the HTML EMBED tag. You may also use the OBJECT tag but since it works only with Microsoft IE at this time, use it only when it is the browser of choice for all your users. An advantage to using the OBJECT tag is to simplify SwiftView installation as you will see in our second example.

Using EMBED

In this first example, we use the HTML EMBED tag to embed SwiftView into a HTML table cell. We set the following EMBED attributes:

SRC
Is set to the path of the document to be displayed, "docs/pcl/phonebill.pcl".
WIDTH and HEIGHT
Are set to "100%" so it fills the table cell.
COMMANDS
Is set to "gui controls display rightbuttons" so SwiftView's toolbar will appear.

Using OBJECT

In this second example, we use the HTML OBJECT tag to embed SwiftView. Within the OBJECT tag, we set the CLASSID and CODEBASE attributes. IE will use this information to install SwiftView if it is not installed or is outdated.

CLASSID
Is set to "CLSID:7DD62E58-5FA8-11D2-AFB7-00104B64F127",
the registered ID for our SwiftView ActiveX control. Without this information, IE does not know which ActiveX control to associate with this OBJECT.
CODEBASE
Is set to "../product/current/licensed/svinstall_greenzhp.cab#Version=", the location of the CAB file to use when installing the ActiveX control and the version number. This attribute may be omitted, however, IE will not be able to install the ActiveX control if missing or outdated.
WIDTH and HEIGHT
Are set to "100%" so it fills the table cell.

We specify the document to display using the PARAM tag, setting its NAME attribute to "SRC" and VALUE to "docs/pcl/phonebill.pcl". We also use the PARAM tag to set COMMANDS as we did in the first example to display a SwiftView toolbar.
