This comes down to browser image support; it looks like the only mainstream browser that supports tiff is Safari:

Where are you getting the tiff images from? Is it possible for them to be generated in a different format?

If you have a static set of images then I'd recommend using something like PaintShop Pro to batch convert them, changing the format.

If this isn't an option then there might be some mileage in looking for a pre-written Java applet (or another browser plugin) that can display the images in the browser.

Tiff images can be displayed directly onto IE and safari only   no support of tiff images on chrome and firefox  you can encode the image and then display it on browser by decoding the encoded image to some other format  Hope this works for you

I found this resource that details the various methods  How to embed TIFF files in HTML documents  As mentioned  it will very much depend on browser support for the format  Viewing that page in Chrome on Windows didn t display any of the images   It would also be helpful if you posted the code you ve tried already
