Jquery code

    });
});

it's displays the requested content cannot be loaded please try again later.... And I get a download of that document file... How can I display the document file using fancybox

Solution

  • You can't. Browsers don't have any built-in way to view Word docs so unless the user has configured their browser to open it with some plugin (which 99% of the world hasn't done), the browser will prompt them to download the file.
