I created a working CDF file on my Mac, and I am trying to embed it into an html page, and although I followed all the steps suggested on the mathematica web embedding page, it is not working (I always get a white page when I try to open my page). This is what I have done so far:

  • I exported my Mathematica code as a CDF standalone "AGN-standaloneClear.cdf", checked and it is working with CDF Player

  • I opened TextEdit, converted to plain text and wrote:

    <html>
<body>
<embed src="AGN-standaloneClear.cdf” width=“1380” height=“6792”>
</body>
</html>

and saved it as test.html into the same folder where the cdf is.

When I try to open it with Chrome the page is completely white however, and if I try to reopen the test.html file it is completely white. I never tried to deal with html, so I think I could be doing some very noob errors that are not even explained in the guides I read so far, but however I don't know what to do.

-EDIT-

Here is the code that generates the white page:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wolfram.com/cdf-player/plugin/v2.1/cdfplugin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var cdf = new cdfplugin();
cdf.setDefaultContent('<a href="http://www.wolfram.com/cdf-player/"><img  src="prova.png"></a>');
cdf.embed('AGNstandaloneClear.cdf', 1380, 6792);
</script>
</body>
</html>

and here is the one that generates the cropped cdf (http://postimg.org/image/tgqa3bicl/):

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wolfram.com/cdf-player/plugin/v2.1/cdfplugin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var cdf = new cdfplugin();
cdf.setDefaultContent('<a href="http://www.wolfram.com/cdf-player/"><img  src="prova.png"></a>');
cdf.embed('AGNstandaloneClear.cdf', 435, 325);
</script>
</body>
</html>

  • $\begingroup$ When working with code/HTML, remember to disengage "smart quotes" (like the ones around the width value)- they sometimes cause problems. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ it is loading the cdf now, thanks. however it is not loading correctly, it is cropped, like if the width and height values are not correcte. however if I modufy height and width values to the correct ones i get the white page again $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You should continue to update your question with more information - perhaps someone can see the problem then... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ 6792 seems very large for a web page - my browser window is only 1000 x 1000. But it worked for me (once I'd scrolled the page enough). $\endgroup$

This HTML code works for me:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wolfram.com/cdf-player/plugin/v2.1/cdfplugin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var cdf = new cdfplugin();
cdf.setDefaultContent('<a href="http://www.wolfram.com/cdf-player/"><img  src="test-embed.png"></a>');
cdf.embed('test-embed.cdf', 435, 325);
</script>
</body>
</html>

The <script> sections were generated by Mathematica version 9.0.1 command File>CDF Export>Web Embeddable.
