Re: Feedback: The Embedder Launched in Preview
I'm hoping you can help me. I've been trying to reproduce your result in my own HTML without success. I just get a blank screen. If I look at the Source for each of your examples, it seems like a massive amount of code.
Is it possible to show (or point to a zip file) a standalone example? So for http:// (some url), we receive an example pdf or gif. Then we can inspect the source to see how this all fits together.
My application is to use embed to offer a series of Dropbox folders that can be opened, read and/or downloaded. Pretty simple, but no luck so far.

You can find the instructions for using the Embedder here. There are working examples on that page, but as that is a page on the actual Dropbox web site, there is other code in the source, unrelated to the Embedder itself.
To use the Embedder, you would need to:
- Load the script as instructed under "Setting up the Embedder".
- Configure the Embedder as shown under either "Embedding Files or Folders using anchor tags" or "Triggering the Embedder using JavaScript".
Here's a very basic/minimal example I put together showing how to set up the Embedder with an anchor tag to show a PDF file.
