Is there a way to make Powerpoint work in Netscape and Mozilla?

We want to put a powerpoint presentation in our pages, but those browsers can't seem to handle them.

We set our page with an IFRAME like so:

<iframe name="I1" src="brochures/BankPresentation.pps" width="531" height="318">Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.</iframe>

Is there anyway to make this work? I've seen other sites with powerpoint.

Thanks,

Tom.




 
There's no way you can make powerpoint play in the browser. Either browser launches and external program (in this case probably MS PowerPoint and that program plays the slideshow in the browser window or it does not work. You could try setting the mime type in Mozilla and Netscape, but of course you would have to set that for every Mozilla/Netscape browser that hits your page.
