how to use the PPS in HTML

[tomodrob]

Hello

I just prepered HTML file for CD. On this CD my customers will find the offers, presentations, guide,etc

I faced a big (for me) problem)

When on HTML file (start file) I place the link to power point show it opens it in IE browser instead of starting presentation

is there a way to make that after linking to pps it will start the presentation instead of showing first slide of the presentation within IE window?

I would be greatful for any advises and ideas

Thanx

Probably not.

I think there's an export feature within Powerpoint to export a stand-alone version. Can you check up on that?

Hi I was trying this self stand up version you need to export Power Point Presentation(.ppt) to Power Point Show (.pps)

the problem is when you conect it with link in HTML it will open it in IE window not as a stand alone presentation.

I wanted so that after clicking the link to pps it would open full window with presentation
so if anybody has some idea how to solve that problem I would be greatful

Sorry dude, not gonna happen. The way the file is handled is determined by the browser. Since having it open in its _own_ window...why not have a JavaScript create a new browser window with just the title bar and put the pps file in there. Below is an example of the code to use:

<script type="text/javascript">
function openPP() {
	window.open("powerpoint.pps","","height=200,width=200,menubar=0,resizable=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,left=0,top=0");
}
</script>

Then, in the tag that contains your text or image, put this:

<div onClick="openPP()">Start Presentation</div>

This is probably as close as you're going to get. Remember, minus a few security bugs, you only have control over the viewport. In this case, the PPS file is being shown in the browser because the user's browser was told to use the PPS plugin to handle the mime type. Because the settings for mime types are done outside of the viewport, most of the time in the preferences of the browser, no client-side scripting language can modify those settings.

Hope this helps!

If you want a browser based presentation, use shaker. It's flash based.
