Placing SmoothMove Panoramas on your web pages allows millions of Internet users around the globe to view your work using the SmoothMove Plug-In for Internet Browsers.  Panoramas are easily integrated into web pages through a small and flexible set of standard HTML methods.  This section assumes that you are already familiar with HTML.

Embedding Panoramas


Web Servers

To support SmoothMove Panoramas, web servers must know about the "applications/x-pan" MIME type and its associated .PAN extension.  To find out how this can be configured, consult the documentation that came with your server.  In general, this is easy to set up.


Hrefs

SmoothMove Panoramas may be added to a web page through the standard <a href = ""> tag.  The panorama must be accessed through the HTTP protocol on a server configured with the "applications/x-pan" MIME type using the .PAN extension.


Embedding Panoramas

SmoothMove Panoramas may also be embedded into web pages.  The SmoothMove Plug-in for Internet Browsers currently supports the WIDTH, HEIGHT, and PLUGINSPACE attributes of the <EMBED attributes> tag.  More than one SmoothMove Panorama may be embedded in a single web page.
