Getting embedded google docs viewer to work under IE 7,8

Question

Wanted to throw this question out to see if there's been any solutions as the Google Doc viewer is amazing.

Creating an iframe with an embedded Google Docs viewer does not work in IE 7,8.

https://docs.google.com/viewer

Does anyone have a work around?

Answer 1

Hi,

I just tried an iframe targeting https://docs.google.com/viewer in IE7 and it is working.

But I have ChromeFrame installed in IE - maybe that's the reason it is working for me!

Answer 2

I tested displaying PDFs in Google Viewer with IE8 with following settings.
